Hakozaki Shrine, established in 923, is one of Japan's three great Hachiman shrines and holds the unique distinction of being the shrine that enshrined the Mongol invasion anchors — the iron anchors from Kublai Khan's invasion fleets that were preserved as trophies after typhoons destroyed the invasion armadas in 1274 and 1281. The shrine's outer forest, ancient camphor trees creating a canopy 30 meters overhead, is one of the finest sacred grove (chinju no mori) environments in Kyushu.

Guía privilegiada

Premium
**Mongol anchor display:** The preserved anchors are displayed in the treasure hall (¥300) and remain genuinely imposing — each 1.5 meters long, forged in Yuan Dynasty China, corroded over 750 years into organic shapes. The exhibit also contains arrowheads and pottery fragments from the invasion camps. **Oyster festival:** January, the shrine hosts an oyster eating festival using local Itoshima oysters — a largely local event that fills the shrine forecourt with charcoal grills and sake stalls.
