Hakata Ward

Hakata Ward occupies the eastern side of central Fukuoka on the coastal plain beside Hakata Bay, in Fukuoka Prefecture. It includes Fukuoka Airport, making the ward a major arrival point for northern Kyushu, while Hakata Station anchors rail travel on the Sanyo and Kyushu Shinkansen lines. The historic port district gave its name to Hakata, a term still associated with local ramen and Hakata-ori woven silk textiles. Kushida Shrine is central to the July Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival, when teams carry elaborately decorated floats through the streets.
