Hakozaki Shrine, Shinto shrine in Hakozaki district, Fukuoka, Japan
The shrine complex features traditional nagare-zukuri architecture with a main hall, worship hall, and stone torii gates across its extensive grounds.
Founded in 923, the shrine experienced destruction during the Mongol invasion of 1274 and underwent reconstruction to continue its spiritual legacy.
As one of Japan's three major Hachiman shrines, this sanctuary honors Emperor Ojin, Empress Jingu, and Tamayori-hime through traditional ceremonies.
The shrine welcomes visitors daily and holds the Tamaseseri Festival on January 3 and the Hojoya Festival from September 12 to 18.
The sacred Hakomatsu tree, protected by a vermilion fence, marks the location where Emperor Ojin's placenta was buried in a wooden box.
