Hojoya
Many locals of Fukuoka City have once or twice been to Hojoya, one of three major festivals in Hakata, wearing Kimono (Japanese traditional clothes). This autumn festival of Hakozaki shrine in Hakata ward is held every year from the 12th to 18th of September. The approach of the shrine stretching along 1 kilometer becomes filled every day and night with about 700 stalls and steady stream of visitors.
