[2025 Fukuoka Attraction] Travel Guide for Hakozakigu Shrine (Updated Apr)

Hakozaki, which is 30 minutes away by bus from Hakata Station! Since my flight back home was in the afternoon, I moved around diligently from the morning! It was a bakery that was renovated from a traditional Korean house, and I could eat on the second floor. It didn't feel like it had fancy toppings, but it had all the representative Japanese breads! I chose the mentaiko baguette and the condensed milk baguette, and they were both full of fillings and really delicious! They only accept cash, so make sure to bring cash. I recommend it to those who want to try Japanese breads like curry bread and melon bread! #FukuokaTravel

Hakozaki Shrine is one of Fukuoka’s most historically significant shrines, famous for its connection to samurai warriors and Japan’s fight against Mongol invasions. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a massive torii gate and ancient stone lanterns, setting a mystical vibe. This shrine is especially famous for its Hōjoe Festival, where people release fish and birds as a symbol of peace. The architecture is beautiful, with intricate wooden carvings and large guardian statues. I also loved exploring the surrounding garden, which features a peaceful koi pond and walking paths. Since it’s not as touristy as Dazaifu, the experience here felt more local and authentic. If you’re interested in samurai history, spiritual sites, or just want a quiet cultural escape, this is a great spot. Plus, it’s easy to reach from central Fukuoka, making it a convenient stop!

#JapanTravel During my trip to Fukuoka, Japan, I was tired of the crowds and department stores, but this place made me forget all about it all at once!! I really recommend Hakozaki Shrine to those who hate crowds and want to feel the Japanese atmosphere :) ● I remember it took about 30 minutes from Tenjin Station to Hakozaki Shrine...? To be honest, there's nothing to see near the shrine and the accessibility is a bit ambiguous, so I don't think many people go thereㅜ I actually like itㅎㅎ It's not that far, so if you have time, I recommend going as your first schedule in the morning!! ●The weather was so nice!! Unlike other shrines, Hakozaki Shrine has a garden and is surprisingly spacious and comfortable, but it's well-decoratedㅎㅎ It's actually famous as one of the three major shrines in Japan? I think I understand why?! It was a little disappointing that there was a part under construction, but it was still so beautiful. ●After you've walked around and seen the shrine, there's a large-scale Aeon Mall nearby! There's a lot to eat here and the prices are cheap, so it's good to buy a few things to eat as snacks. If you walk a little further, there's the ocean, but that's up to your personal choice~!
