Overview of your Fukuoka tour:

Welcome to Fukuoka! Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is a main tourist destination in Fukuoka. It was founded at the beginning of the10th century to enshrine the god of learning, Sugawara Michizane. Michizane was a right minister of the central government in the 9th century, and was talented in many fields such as poem, Chinese language, calligraphy, etc. This shrine is famous for answering prayers from examinees. I myself visited it with my daughter before her entrance exam. And she did pass it! To make the visit to this shrine special, why don't you wear elegant Japanese Kimono? You may feel as if you went back to ancient days of Japan. After visiting the shrine, you may browse at the shops near the shrine. You may enjoy looking at traditional Japanese crafts and modern items like Hello Kitty character goods. Then, I'll take you to a traditional Japanese restaurant for lunch. You'll find Japanese delicacy in every dish and tableware. I'm sure you'll enjoy the ancient shrine and town.
