Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is located in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. It is a shrine built on Sugawara Michizane's tomb. It is the head shrine of Tenmangu Shrine in Japan, along with Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto. Michizane Sugawara was an influential scholar in the Heian period in Japan, so many students who prayed for the title of the Golden List would come to visit here. Passing through the torii gate at the entrance, you will come to a pond in the shape of a heart character. There is a Shiga shrine next to the heart character pond. It is a historic site of the Muromachi period in Japan and is designated as an important cultural property. In addition, plum blossoms, nanflowers, and iris flowers are planted in the spacious courtyard of Tenmangu Shrine, blooming all year round. Various celebrations are also held here regularly.
