What you can expect

Discover the old town of Hakata, the capital of Fukuoka Prefecture, on a guided walking tour. Learn about the city's history, culture, and traditions as you visit a museum, a shrine, and a temple.

Start your tour at a museum built in the traditional Japanese machiya style. Learn about Hakata's unique language, traditional handicrafts, and the history of the city. Discover Hakata's unique festivals, which have been supported by the merchants and other local people.

Next, visit Kushida Shrine, a shrine dedicated to the protection of Hakata and the stage for Hakata's largest festival. Admire the giant Yamakasa floats on the shrine grounds.

A short walk from there will take you to an area where temples are gathered. Here you will visit the giant Fukuoka Daibutsu (Fukuoka Buddha), said to be the largest wooden statue in Japan, and a historic Zen temple. These temples have been the spiritual centre of Hakata's residents for centuries.
