Vue d'ensemble

Hakozaki Shrine in Fukuoka is one of Japan's Three Great Hachiman Shrines, enshrining Hachiman, Jingu-kogo, and Tamayorihime. Founded in 923, the shrine became historically significant during the Mongol invasions of 1274 and 1281 — when a divine wind (kamikaze) was believed to have protected Japan — and the shrine's famous plaque 'Tekikoku Kofuku' (Enemy Nation Surrender) dates from this era. The annual Hojoya festival in September is one of the three great festivals of Hakata and draws large crowds to the historic shrine grounds.
