The Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning. It serves as the leading shrine of the roughly 12,000 other shrines in Japan enshrining the same god, and is one of the largest shrines in Kyushu.
In addition to the main shrine, the grounds also contain a variety of other historical buildings, such as a Dazaifu Tenmangu Museum and Kanko Historical Museum.
While visitors can enjoy different flowers throughout the seasons here, such as cherry blossoms and wisteria, there are also 6,000 plum trees on the ground, which were favored by Sugawara no Michizane, and many come to visit when they are in bloom.
Festivals are held here throughout the year, letting you experience the depth of an ongoing history lasting 1,100 years.
This is certainly a must see spot when you plan on traveling from Fukuoka to Miyazaki.
