Things to do in Ogori

This is a shrine that worships Sugawara no Michizane, a man of letters from the Heian period of Japan, as the god of learning. It is said that it helps you pass exams and achieve success, and that it helps you maintain good health. It is a very famous shrine!

I went at Friday night, but it was still not crowded. The views are really beautiful and it’s worth to go if you’re in the area.

I was overwhelmed by the number of frogs. I empathize with the messages written inside the temple, and I am grateful that by passing through the frog's mouth, I can "rejuvenate, smile, and regain my energy"! This is definitely a temple I recommend!

One of my favorite parks placed in the city, Ohorikoen is quite massive, making it a good place for picnics, anytime strolls, jogging, and also has some swan boats for a fun ride in the lake during daytime. If you want to chill for a coffee there is Starbucks.

Kushida Shrine is a must-visit shrine when you come to Hakata. You must come to see the Gion Yamakasa. Although I didn't come in July, I didn't see the big Yamakasa in the city, but I can see the Yamakasa in Kushida Shrine. Read the introduction According to the legend of the shrine, Kushida Shrine was founded in the first year of Tenpyo Hoji (757) and has been the general guardian of Hakata since ancient times. The Hakata Festival is a representative festival of Fukuoka City and is well-known throughout the country.

Daxingshan Temple! After crossing the Kaiun Bridge and entering the Shigisan area, the thing that impressed me the most was probably the "tiger". It can be said that it is everywhere, in statues, patterns, and decorations. I have been to many temples in Japan, but it is rare to see one with an animal as the theme. Maybe there is some allusion? The whole mountain is full of temples and shrines, as well as lodging houses for accommodation. It is simply a religious town. To be honest, I was a little lost at the end of the tour because I didn't plan to visit. And going up and down the stairs will be a bit tiring, which must be paid attention to, but no matter what, it is a place worth visiting.

883 Uchiyama, Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture About a 10-minute taxi ride from Dazaifu Station. There was a community bus, but it only ran about twice an hour, so it was best to go at the right time. It wasn't very large, so I was able to take my time and enjoy the view. The observation stage had a great view, so I was able to relax and unwind from my daily fatigue. I think the view would be even more beautiful on a sunny day. (It was cloudy when I went...) The shrine office also had a refined and beautiful atmosphere, and was designed with white as the main color. Due to the influence of Demon Slayer, there were also several foreign tourists.
