This year, the Yamakasa decorations at Hakata Station are still themed after One Piece.
From July 1st to 15th, you can see beautifully decorated themed yamakasa in the following 13 places:
1. Toryu: 2nd yamakasa
2. Nakasu-ryu: 3rd yamakasa
3. Kamikawabata-dori: 8th yamakasa ([推しの子]! It was the location of Gundam last year, but there is no Gundam this year!)
4. Watanabe-dori 1-chome: 9th yamakasa
5. Fukuoka Department Store: 10th yamakasa
6. Hakata Station Store Association: 11th yamakasa

11. Hakata Rebar Line: 16th yamakasa
12. Tenjin 1-chome: 17th yamakasa (Anpanman)
13. Kushida Shrine: Extra
Each yamakasa is decorated with a gorgeous human figure created by a Hakata artist, the "front" is usually a samurai, and the "back" is based on a fairy tale or TV animation.
