Dazaifu city is located about 20km (12 miles) far south of Fukuoka downtown and used to be the western capital of ancient Japan from the 8th to 12th century. *Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine is the most important Tenmangu shrine throughout Japan. It is dedicated the god of learning "Michizane" who was a scholar and politician in the 9th century in Kyoto. However, he was falsely accused and exiled from Kyoto to Dazaifu. He died in misery in two years after the exile. . . He was a real person, but why did people revere him as the god of education? Let me explain these answers during the tour. *Yanagawa, which used to be a castle town during the Edo period, is located about 70km (43 miles) away from Fukuoka downtown, and it is famous for punting boats in the moat of the castle. Enjoy calm and peaceful boat riding with me at Yanagawa Castle town. *Note: From May 2023, it will take about three years to renovate the main hall at Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine. In the meantime, we'll visit the temporary hall.
Take a Nishitetsu Train from Tenjin Fukuoka to Yanagawa. (about 50min) *You can pay Nishitetsu train ticket with 'a contactless credit card' (Visa, JCB, American Express, Diners Club). Yanagawa boat riding(60min), enjoy the peaceful scenery from the boat. lunch ( Unagi or eel is a local specialty in Yanagawa) Go back to Yanagawa train station, and take a train to Dazaifu.( about 45min) Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, sightseeing and taking photos! Window shopping at Dazaifu Take a Nishitetsu train to Tenjin (about 30min) End the tour at Tenjin train station in Tenjin, I'll show you a taxi or bus stop to back to the port or hotel. *I don't recommend taking this tour in summer (July-August) because it's too hot and humid on the punting boat in Yanagawa. You can choose not to take a boat and visit the Ohana Japanese garden by taxi.
