| One of the three
major festivals in Hakata is the Hojoya, which the staff and I
visited on Friday. It takes about one week, from the 12 to the 18 of
September and leads from the Hakozaki-gu Shrine to the beach of
Hakata Bay. Pretty many people, I've read about one million, visit
this festival every year. It was actually really full. There are a
large variety of stalls, where you can not only eat Yakitori and Takoyaki but | also
play games. You can pray, watch
pictures with Hakata Ohajiki, draw lots or watch Self-promoter. There is a horror house, in which the
boss, his son, my manager and I were... I've read this festival has
a pretty long history, it is about one thousand years old and started
originally as a ceremony of realising captive animals. Now, it is
held to give thanks for the autumn harvest.

| Hakozaki-gu Shrine | This is written by Homare Sawa, a Japanese football player. I think it means something like the proverb "Dreams is not to have it is to make come true" |
