Good Places in Fukuoka｜⛩️Visit the God of Learning "Dazaifu Tenmangu"

🇯🇵One of the must-see tourist attractions in Kyushu Fukuoka
Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, Famous as the God of Learning

⛩️Tenmangu Shrine is dedicated to the god of learning, "Sugawara Michizane".
Sugawara no Michizane was a talented politician, scholar, and poet in the 9th century.
However, he was framed by a villain and demoted to Dazaifu, where he eventually died in Kyushu.
However, after his death, the Japanese also worship him as the god of learning, culture and art.
It also makes Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine a must-visit attraction for Fukuoka self-guided tours🎎

I saw many people touching the head of the "Sacred Cow" at the entrance of the shrine🐂
According to legend, Sugawara no Michizane was born in the year of the ox and died in the year of the ox🐂🐂🐂
When he died, the oxcart carrying his body refused to move past Dazaifu.
This makes the sacred cow a symbol of Dazaifu, and people can pray for good health🫀

🍡Store street shops are usually open from 9:00 to 19:00
