2016.08.31

One of Fukuoka's most famous shrines, "Dazaifu Tenmangu" welcomes a huge number of tourists from both inside and outside of Japan!

Said to be the head of the approximately 12,000 Tenmangu shrines scattered throughout the country, "Dazaifu Tenmangu" is dedicated to the famous god of learning Tenjin (the defied form of Sugawara no Michizane).

The "Tobiume blossom," which is in the shrine grounds, is said to have flown from Kyoto to Dazaifu overnight to follow Michizane. "Dazaifu Tenmangu" is famous for its 6,000 plum trees. An impressive place to behold, the shrine hosts lots of interesting events and welcomes many visitors. The Kawaii Ambassadors certainly had a great time during their visit!
