Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine
Dazaifu Tenmangu is the head shrine of 10,000 different shrines across Japan dedicated to the spirit of Sugawara Michizane. Sugawara was an acclaimed scholar who was deemed innocent posthumously after being exiled to Dazaifu by Kyoto’s Imperial Court. The main hall was built over his grave and has been preserved as a sacred site of Tenjin worship for over 1100 years.
This shrine is dedicated to the god of exams ✨
So I always come here to pray for good results.
Besides praying for academic success, Dazaifu is also famous for plum blossoms.
There are so many great places to eat along the shopping street—definitely worth a visit! 👍
