About Hakozaki
What are the main landmarks in Hakozaki?
Three named structures fix Hakozaki on the map. Hakozaki Shrine anchors the district, the Kyushu University Museum stands within the same short walk, and Najima Bridge completes the set, three points of reference in a small corner of Fukuoka. Hakomatsu adjoins the district, with Chiyo a little further out, neither competing with the shrine for attention.
What is the history of Hakozaki?

Nobody set down Hakozaki's founding year. Fukuoka Prefecture supplies the administrative frame in Japan, while Najima Bridge, Hakomatsu, and Chiyo mark the ground the district has long shared its edges with.
