Hakata, Fukuoka. In 2023, I encountered the "Hakata Gion Yamakasa" and "Oiyama Narashi" on Taihaku Street.

Taihaku-dori Street connects Fukuoka, Hakata Station to the Hakata Bay Area. It is home to the Hakata Gion Yamakasa, an intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO. The Oiyama Narashi took place on July 12th. The main photo is of the Ebisu-ryu. The Oiyama Narashi is a rehearsal just like the real thing. The sight of the Yamakasa running through the streets of Hakata fascinated many people. The finale of the Hakata Gion Yamakasa, which will be held from July 1st to 15th, is the Oiyama Kasa, which will be held in the early morning of July 15th. The place where we saw it this time is Gofukumachi Business Center. 10-10 Kamigofukumachi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture 812-0036 It is a convenient location directly connected to the subway Gofukumachi Station. During the Hakata Gion Yamakasa, buses and other services running in the city will have different times. You can also check the map for the Oi Yamakasa held on the 15th online. It will be crowded, so if you check the route in advance and arrive early, you will be able to enjoy the Yamakasa even more. #Hakata #Fukuoka #HakataGionYamakasa #Yamakasa #777 #OtahiroStreet #Gofukumachi #FukuokaTrip #HakataSightseeing #FukuokaSightseeing
