What other travelers are saying about Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine
Went on my first solo trip and visited early in the morning — it was peaceful with very few people around. The weather in late May was perfect. If you have time, I recommend starting from Omotesando and taking a slow walk down. There are plenty of unique shops along the way that are worth checking out!
There were lots of lovely little shops in the street leading up to the shrine, we really enjoyed our walk around the whole area.
The shrine was beautiful and filled with students wishing for blessing on their studies.
The area also famous for their delicious red bean cake, must try! Great texture.
You've also got to walk around the shrine for the beautiful old trees scenery.
If you're in Fukuoka, you must visit this shrine. Tho many people go here, I still find this place peaceful and calm. Also there are a lot of souvenir shops and cafes here when you get tired of exploring the shrine.
Very peaceful and quiet with a big pond. I went early in the morning before anything was open, but also before any people got there. The main shrine was obviously closed at that time so I’m sure I missed out on a lot but it was very nice to take in the sight in peace and quiet 🥰
The temple complex isn’t one of the largest but it’s unique with the cow statues which is supposed to bring good luck and fulfil wishes at places where you rub them. There are 2 of them, one at the main entrance and another further inside. There are queues to rub them 🤣 there are 2 bridges to cross before reaching the main site. You will walk past small lakes and shady trees along the way. It’s quite tranquil if you minus the crowd. Maybe it’s better to visit late evening as daytime there is just one too many people. It’s a shinto temple not really a buddhist one. Its not as famous as the Kyoto ones but still worth a visit.
