Hakata, Fukuoka. The 2023 Hakata Gion Yamakasa will be held at Kushida Shrine, the main shrine of Hakata.

Summer has come to Hakata again this year. Kushida Shrine, the main shrine of Hakata, is where the 2023 Hakata Gion Yamakasa will be held. Preparations are underway for the Oi Yamakasa, which will be held in the early morning of the 15th. Seats are set up at the venue, and you can see the seating chart! There is also live television coverage, so many people will be watching the Hakata Gion Yamakasa There are also many tourists, and I feel that the demand for the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Hakata Gion Yamakasa is high. Kushida Shrine is also a shrine that is affectionately known as O-Kushida-san. This year, a new station called Kushida Shrine-mae Station was also established due to the extension of the subway. The Hakata Gion Yamakasa's "Kazariya" is permanently installed within the shrine, so even those who are unable to visit Fukuoka at this time of year and are unable to see the Yamakasa can still feel the charm of the Yamakasa. "Kushida Shrine" 1-41 Kamikawabata-cho, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, 812-0026 If you are using the subway, it is convenient to use "Nakasu-Kawabata Station" or "Kushida Shrine-mae Station". #HakataGionYamakasa #UNESCOIntangibleCulturalHeritage #Hakata #Yamakasa #HakataTourism #Fukuoka #KushidaShrine #FukuokaTrip #777 #FukuokaTourism
