Starting from July 1st, various events related to the Hakata Gion Yamakasa will take place across the Hakata district, infusing the city with a festive atmosphere. During the festival, beautifully decorated Kazariyama (ornamental Yamakasa) crafted by Hakata doll makers will be displayed at 14 different locations, while Yamakasa carrying floats will be positioned at 7 locations. The festival reaches its peak with the Oiyamakasa event, which commences at 4:59 a.m. on the 15th. Following a solemn ceremony, floats will depart from the Kushida Shrine every five minutes. The spectacle of these floats coursing through the Hakata streets, accompanied by vibrant shouts, offers a compelling, powerful experience.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fn_yamakasa-shudan-yamamise_2017_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hakata Gion Yamakasa, \u535a\u591a\u7947\u5712\u5c71\u7b20\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-154241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fn_yamakasa-shudan-yamamise_2017_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fn_yamakasa-shudan-yamamise_2017_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fn_yamakasa-shudan-yamamise_2017_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fn_yamakasa-shudan-yamamise_2017_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 7\/1 (Sat.) ~ 7\/15 (Sat.)<br \/>\n\u2022 Free viewing<br \/>\n\u2022 Kushida Shrine, various places in Fukuoka City (mainly Hakata area)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hakata Gion Yamakasa Guide 2023<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/yamakasa\/\">https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/yamakasa\/<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Hakata Gion Yamakasa Kazariyama Guide 2023<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/yamakasa-kazariyama-guide\/\">https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/yamakasa-kazariyama-guide\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Kyushu Live &#8211; Hakata Gion Yamakasa Live 2023<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ll be livestreaming again from the festival several times this year, so subscribe now to our channel, Kyushu Live and never miss the action. <\/p>\n<p><strong>#1.
