16th Century Shrine, Popular With Students Praying For Acdemci Success; Colorful Flea-market.
Reviewed By Alexander G - Singapore, Singapore
Generally a tourist spot; it is present in virtually all brochures covering Fukuoka. The place itself is a shrine to a Japanese deity of learning. Those who want to have a taste of Japanese spirituality may find this a good example of it. The grounds of the shrine itself are beautiful, with Chinese-inspired Bridges and gardens; however, as we visited in winter, there wasn't much foliage to make the scenery especially appealing. Perhaps it would be better to visit the area in times other than winter. Crowds are often present, but they are generally bearable.

ぐるっとのんびり１周して４０分くらい。犬の散歩にちょうどいいです。池にはカメや鴨？がいて、周りには猫がいっぱいいます。池のそばにベンチがあるので座ってぼーっと眺めてるだけで癒されます（＾＾）

It's around the back of Temangu Shrine. It's worth going up to see this especially if you are yearning for a little exercise. The place is quiet and devoid of tour groups. The walk up also rewards you with the best display of Sakura if you are lucky.

Kyushu National Museum is one of the 4 National Museums in Japan (other National Museums are in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara). The permanent collection of the museum is consisted of antiquities of Kyushu and some Asian countries. There is a special exhibition, too. But, the exhibition seems to be small compared with the other National Museums. The massive architecture design of the building and the long escalator that leads to the entrance of the museum are really impressive. It takes only 5 min walk from the Dazaifu Tenmangu and it's nice to combine these two attractions in the same day.

It's a bustling place and a major hub for the Shinkansen, local trains, subway and buses. There are plenty of eating and shopping options, from the basement all the way to the 10th floor. There is also a free rooftop garden on the 10th floor with nice views of the city. There are many coin lockers near the north ticket gate but they can be fully occupied in the afternoon.

I only wish the monk allowed photos of the beautiful dry landscape garden. There is a small wooden deck you can sit to look at the garden and engage in some meditation. To avoid the crowds, come around 30 minutes before closing time.

東慶院はＪＲ春日駅から徒歩３分くらいのところにある曹洞宗の禅寺です。7月に春日市に行った時に、駅の近くにあったので参拝しました。白壁の塀と山門が参拝者を迎えてくれます。街中にある大きな寺院です。愛知県の豊川稲荷の九州別院です。豊川吒枳尼真天を祀っている寺院です。その歴史は、比較的新しく昭和8年に分霊勧請したとのことです。数年前に豊川稲荷（妙厳寺）に行ったことがあります。豊川稲荷も曹洞宗の寺院です。境内は自由に散策できます。神社仏閣に興味がある方は参拝されては如何でしょうか？

If you dont speak Japanese, make sure you book for the free English guided tour which will last for 60 minutes (the Japanese speaking tours will be 90 minutes). It included history, the process of beer brewing and how the factory operated. At the conclusion, you will be taken into the canteen and given 20 minutes to finish up to 3 beers. There was also a demonstration of how to pour a Superdry from a can which was interesting. Definitely worth the effort to go there !

This is the approach to the Dazaifu Tenmangū, one of the three important shrines dedicated to the deified scholar, poet and politician Sugawara no Michizane (845-903). There are still a couple of old shops selling Kurume kasuri (traditional fabric), items for calligraphy, umegamochi (small cakes filled with a kind of bean paste), folk art etc. But unfortunately the rise of tourism is slowly killing the traditional character of this street. Many stores have adapted to their new mostly interactional customers. If you are able to do so, come very early in the morning.
