Genko Wall （Nishijin, Ikinomatsubara, Imazu)

元寇防塁（西新・生の松原・今津）

In preparation for a second invasion by the Mongols, the Kamakura shogunate constructed a stone defensive wall which extends roughly 20 km from Imazu to eastern Kashiihama along Hakata Bay.
At present, the wall can be viewed at three locations: Nishijin, Ikinomatsubara, and Imazu.
