Fukuoka's Must-Visit: Half-Day Trip to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine

When visiting Kyushu in Japan, make sure to stop by Dazaifu City in Fukuoka Prefecture, home to the main shrine of all Tenmangu Shrines in Japan—Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine⛩️. 💞Why it's recommended: Perfect for exam success! Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, known as the "God of Learning." This makes it a popular destination for students and examinees from all over Japan and the world, who come here to pray for academic success and passing exams. 📝Pro tip: Before reaching the shrine, you'll pass through a shopping street. Resist the temptation to stop there first! Head straight to the shrine for your prayers, and then take your time exploring the shopping street on your way back. Don't miss the famous "Umegae Mochi"—it's absolutely delicious and worth trying! 🤤
