[2025 Dazaifu Attraction] Travel Guide for Tenkaiinari Shrine (Updated Mar)

I recently went for a walk in Fukuoka and was really amazed by the beauty of the cherry blossoms there! Stroll along the streets of Fukuoka and inadvertently look up and encounter the cloud-like cherry blossom trees. The flowers are clustered on the branches, the breeze is blowing, and the petals are falling in full swing, as if a pink snow has fallen. Passing by the park, it is full of people watching the cherry blossoms. Everyone either spreads out picnic mats and enjoys it, or holds up their cameras to record this beautiful moment. I shuttled under the cherry trees, feeling the gentle touch of petals falling on my shoulders, and at that moment, time seemed to slow down. The streets and alleys are also decorated with cherry blossoms to be particularly romantic. Outside the coffee shop window are flower branches swaying in the wind, and a few clusters of pink stick out from the old eaves. Every step I take is like walking into a beautiful spring picture. In Fukuoka, you can be healed by the cherry blossoms all over the city without deliberately looking for attractions, just walk around and reap the happiness that is unique to spring. #Fukuoka cherry blossoms

📍Fukuoka I went to Kyushu's oldest Tenkai Inari Shrine, located inside Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. I heard that this is an interesting place to visit that is different from other shrines, so I went there. The main hall of Tenkai Inari Shrine has 12 ropes and bells, and a large rope and a large bell in the center. Each of the 12 ropes has a zodiac sign written on it, and you worship in the following order: 1. Ring the bell of your zodiac sign to inform the gods of your zodiac sign 2. Ring the large rope in the center. However, since COVID-19, it seems that the bells of your zodiac sign have been moved inside the main hall. Take a peek and try to find it 😉 It's quiet with few people, so the gods will likely listen to your requests ✨ Please try to find your zodiac sign 🔖 #Fukuoka #FukuokaTourism #DomesticTravel #FreeHotelStay

For over 1,100 years, Tenjin-sama has been widely revered as the god of learning, culture, arts, and protection from misfortune, and Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine continues to be worshiped as a spiritual anchor for people. Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is the head shrine of all Tenmangu shrines in Japan, and is known as the one and only sacred place, Kanseibyo, as the tomb of Michizane. As it will be 1,125 years since Michizane passed away in 2027, the important cultural property "Main Hall" is undergoing major renovation for the first time in 124 years! The temporary hall with plum trees growing on the roof can only be seen for three years until the renovation is completed. It was so beautiful and gave me energy! The colors of the fortune slips that change with the seasons are also one of the things to look forward to. There were also summery wind chime decorations!
