Shogun Ashikaga Takauji , arriving in Munakata , a short distance away , at this time in early April , learned of the siege of Dazaifu and the death of Shōni Sadatsune . Gathering forces , he marched from Munakata on April 15 , and journeyed to Tatarahama , fifteen miles ( 24 km ) away , where he met the opposing army , consisting primarily of warriors of the Kikuchi , Aso , Mihara , and Kuroki clan s under the command of a Kikuchi lord . Battle . The military chronicle " Baishō - ron " describes Tatarahama as " a stretch of over three miles ( 5 km ) of dry foreshore , crossed at the south end by a small stream . The precincts of the Hakozaki Hachiman Shrine consist of some five square miles of pine forest . To the south lies the city of Hakata . " By the end of the battle , the Kikuchi clan forces had been chased by Ashikaga Tadayoshi to Dazaifu , at which point they fled into the hills . The Aso and Akizuki clan commanders committed suicide , and other commanders simply surrendered . Takauji rewarded his commanders for their bravery and service , but offered pardon to his opponents , and to several clans not participating in the battle , who thus joined him in its aftermath . Kyūshū thus became united under the shogunate , and the Northern Imperial Court .
