Hakata has been active in exchange with continental Asia, and its role as an international trade town continues to this day. In the past, many of those in power tried to take Hakata, a town of commerce, with wars striking the area repeatedly. Hakata recovered from each one of them, and gave birth to new culture and tradition. Hakata, with its 2000-year history, has tales and scars from each era to remind us of our past. This campaign invites the residents and visitors to walk the streets of Hakata from mid-October to mid-November and learn the history and culture of the town. We cordially invite you to feel the history of Hakata through Hakata Jocho Meguri.
