What to expect

Dazaifu Tenmangu - The main shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning (about 90 minutes, free time for activities) Dazaifu Tenmangu enshrines the well-known god of learning, Sugawara no Michizane. It is the main shrine among approximately 12,000 Tenmangu shrines in Japan and the largest shrine in Kyushu. Besides the vermilion-colored main hall and the surrounding gardens, there are many historical buildings in Dazaifu Tenmangu, such as Tenkai Inari Shrine, Treasure Hall, and Sugawara History Museum. Japanese students often come to the shrine before exams to pray for passing the exams and having a smooth school career. There are numerous popular snack and gift shops on both sides of the approach road to Dazaifu, and all kinds of small shops are well worth visiting. In particular, the "ume mochi" here must be tasted. The sticky outer skin and red bean filling are sweet but not greasy and are definitely worth a try.
