[Fukuoka Prefecture] The god of academics in Fukuoka is here📚

📍Dazaifu, Fukuoka Prefecture A shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, known for his academic excellence Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is famous for its cow statue, but there is a reason for this. "The remains should be sent to the capital, so they tried to transport them in an ox cart, but the cow stopped and stopped moving along the way. This was thought to be Michizane's will, so a grave was made and a shrine was built." Perhaps because this story is widely known, visitors can pray to the bronze cow statue and take photos here 📸 And since May 2023, the main hall, an important cultural property, has been undergoing major renovation for the first time in 124 years, so it is currently a temporary hall However, this is a rare sight, as it can only be seen now. #Fukuoka #DomesticTravel #0YenTravelFebruary2025
