Hakozaki Shrine (筥崎宮, Hakozaki-jingū) is a Shintō shrine in Fukuoka .
History
Hakozaki Shrine was founded in 923, with the transfer of the spirit of the kami Hachiman from his dwelling place in Ōita in what is today Ōita Prefecture in Kyushu.
The shrine is highly ranked among the many shrines in Japan, but it was not until 1915 (Taishō 4) that it raised to its current position amongst amongst the Kwampeishōsha or highest ranked shrines.
Emperor Antoku is said to have visited Hakozaki when he was in Kyushu with his court.

A number of structures in the temple complex have been designated as national treasures, including the main hall, the worship hall, the Sakuramon gate and the Ichino-torii (gate).
Festivals
