The early summer garden

FUKUOKA Taizifu has a history of 1100 years, where Sugawara no Michizane, known in Japan as the 'God of Learning' and the 'God of Calligraphy'; the golden bull at the entrance shines brightly from being touched, bestowing wisdom; ancient trees reach for the sky within the garden, with small bridges over flowing water, koi fish swimming gracefully, the spring's Kyokusui-no-en (Poem Composing Party by a Winding Stream), and the autumn's Shinko-sai (Grand Festival). The garden landscape is also quite distinctive, with reflections of ancient trees and small bridges, hydrangeas in early summer, and purple irises in the water, all set against the blue sky for an exceptionally leisurely atmosphere. Deep within the garden, there is also a ⛩️ nestled in the mountains, a children's playground, and the Kyushu National Museum, all worth exploring. The streets around the attraction are lined with distinctive shops, with handmade plum cakes and karasumi (dried mullet roe) as well as Starbucks being the most popular.
