A Must-Visit Spot in Fukuoka! If you have the time, please visit during the July festival. Arriving in Fukuoka at the beginning of July, you will encounter the eve of the Hakata Yamakasa Gion Festival.

The Hakata Yamakasa Gion Festival is a grand Gion festival held every July by the Kushida Shrine. It originated as a ritual where people prayed to the gods to ward off summer diseases. It is also designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan.

From July 10th to 15th, a festival called "Hakata Gion Yamakasa" will be held. Men in the water coats and wearing water coats run with a large portable shrine called "Yamakasa" while being sprinkled with water. It is a very brave and large-scale festival, so please come and see!
