Afterwards the area prospered as the hub of Hakata,  which at the time was the largest port trading city in Japan. There are many valuable artefacts and monuments here, including Tochoji temple, Kushida Shrine, Jotenji temple, Shofukuji temple as well as Engakuji temple. It is also surprising that Hakata has little recognition for being the origin of many culinary staples such as Udon and Soba noodles, Manju (steamed bun), Uiro (steamed cake made of rice flour), and traditional beverages like Japanese green tea. This important historical area is also the location of Japan’s first Zen-temple and Shingon-temple.
