Dazaifu Tenmangu
The head shrine of learning, dedicated to the scholar-god Sugawara no Michizane.
One of the most popular shrines in Japan, attracting millions of students praying for exam success. Built over the grave of Sugawara no Michizane, a brilliant scholar and politician of the Heian period.
神社歷史緣起
Founded in 919 AD, this shrine is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, who was unfairly exiled to Dazaifu from Kyoto due to political rivals. After his death, a series of disasters in Kyoto were attributed to his vengeful spirit, leading the court to deify him as 'Tenjin' (Sky God) to appease him.
Over time, his image transformed from a vengeful spirit to a benevolent god of scholarship, calligraphy, and poetry.

境內看點
Current Main Hall (Honden) dates from 1591 and is an Important Cultural Property. The grounds are famous for their 6,000 plum trees ('ume'), which were Michizane's favorite flower. The 'Tobiume' (Flying Plum Tree) is said to have flown from Kyoto to be with him in exile.
Don't miss the 'Umegae Mochi', a grilled rice cake with red bean paste sold along the approach. Eating one is said to ward off illness.
重大祭典
The 'Onisube' fire festival in January is a dramatic exorcism ritual. In late February, the 'Kyokusui no En' (winding stream party) recreates graceful Heian-era poetry gatherings under the plum blossoms.
