Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine

4.7/5

Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is a historic shrine in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, built over the grave of Sugawara no Michizane, and is an important center for Tenmangu shrines across Japan. Sugawara no Michizane was exiled to Dazaifu due to political strife during the Heian period and passed away there. He was later revered as the deity of learning and culture, making this a long-standing place of worship for those praying for academic success and success in exams. Upon entering the grounds, the Shinji-ike Pond and the three arched bridges spanning it form an iconic view. The pond is named for its resemblance to the character for "heart," and the three bridges symbolize the past, present, and future, respectively. Several stone statues of reclining sacred oxen are scattered throughout the grounds, reflecting the traditional connection between the ox and Sugawara no Michizane. The Tobiume (Flying Plum Tree) beside the main hall carries the legend of a plum tree that flew here from Kyoto in a single night. It is the first to bloom each year, adding vitality to the spring. The garden is planted with approx. 200 varieties and 6,000 plum trees, creating a particularly rich landscape during the blooming season, and you can also enjoy irises in early summer. Traditional festivals and cultural events are also preserved here. The Usokae ritual held every January involves exchanging wooden bird carvings to express wishes, and the Kyokusui no En (Winding Stream Banquet) is held on the first Sunday of March, where participants dressed in Heian-period attire recite poems by the flowing water, recreating the elegance of ancient banquets. After your visit, you can stroll along the approach and taste Umegae Mochi, a grilled rice cake with a crispy exterior and red bean filling, to experience the local traditional food culture.Dazaifu · 28.1 km from Ukiha

It's a little difficult to get there, but you can enjoy the spectacular view and torii gates from the top of the mountain. It's a hidden gem because there aren't many people around.

This is a small city away from Fukuoka. It is mainly a family-oriented hot spring resort. You can see families of all sizes and the elderly come to stay and eat. It is a quiet mountain village. I can't believe there are so many people!

In December 2021, Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture, has the famous "Akitsuki Castle Site". The maple leaves and ginkgo trees have fallen; the bare and withered cherry blossom trees are still beautiful! Many businesses in the quiet ancient street are closed! Friendly reminder: parking lot, ranging from 300 yen, 400 yen, 500 yen!

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!
