Traveler highlights
Founded in 1242 by Enni Ben’en, Jotenji is a historic Zen temple in old Hakata. The stone-paved Jotenji-dori and Hakata Sennen-no-Mon lead to the temple area, with quiet grounds and a stone garden. Memorial stones connect it with Hakata-ori weaving and foods such as udon, soba, yokan, and manju. Jotenji is also known as the birthplace of Hakata Gion Yamakasa. Its paths and markers reveal links among Zen, local crafts, food culture, and festival traditions.
