Dazaifu Ancient City Half Day Tour from Fukuoka

Dazaifu shrine is the most popular sightseeing place in Fukuoka. This shrine is dedicated to the God of Learning, so many students visit to wish good luck on their entrance exams. Dazaifu (大宰府) and Dazaifu (太宰府). Same pronunciation but different Chinese characters. Can you see the difference? I'd like to explain the difference in this tour. Dazaifu city is located about 15km south of Fukuoka city. Dazaifu shrine attracts so many people, especially students every year, because it is dedicated to Sugawara Michizane, the God of Study. Komyo-ji temple is a Zen Buddhist temple built in 1273 and has two gardens, moss garden and dry stone garden. Kyushu National Museum focuses on Kyushu area's exchanges with other Asian nations. The great thing about this tour is that you can see the old aspect of Japanese culture but at the same time along the both sides of the street to these sights are there a variety of souvenir shops selling typically Japanese neat and cute items, so you can fully enjoy shopping
