Hakozaki Shrine is a major shrine in the city of [[Fukuoka]]. It is one of four major shrines in the country dedicated to [[Hachiman]], along with ones in [[Tsurugaoka Hachimangu|Kamakura]], [[Iwashimizu Hachimangu|Yawata (Kyoto)]], and [[Usa Jingu|Usa (Ôita)]].
It is unclear when the shrine was established, but it appears in records as early as [[921]]. In addition to Hachiman, the shrine is dedicated to [[Empress Jingu|Empress Jingû]], [[Emperor Ojin|Emperor Ôjin]], and [[Tamayori-hime]].
The shrine is approached via a long pathway, with two large stone ''[[torii]]'' at either end. One, the ''ichi-no-torii'', is considered an [[Important Cultural Property]], and is said to have been erected by [[Kuroda Nagamasa]], lord of [[Fukuoka han]], in [[1609]].
The shrine compound formerly included a Buddhist temple hall called the [[Torodo|Tôrôdô]], in front of which [[Sen no Rikyu|Sen no Rikyû]] and [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] are said to have often held [[tea ceremony|tea ceremonies]] during Hideyoshi's [[1587]] [[Kyushu Campaign]]. This hall was later moved to the nearby temple of [[Eko-in|Ekô-in]].
Hakozaki is famous today for the ''yatai'' (food stalls) frequently set up just outside of the shrine.
