FAQ
Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is renowned as one of Japan's most important Tenmangu shrines, dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of scholarship, culture, and art. Visitors often come to pray for academic success, pass exams, and seek blessings for cultural pursuits. The shrine is also famous for its beautiful plum blossoms (ume) in late winter and early spring, and its unique architecture.
Beyond praying for academic success, visitors can explore the tranquil grounds, walk across traditional bridges over ponds, and admire the ancient camphor trees. Don't miss the omamori (charms) and ema (votive tablets) for blessings. The surrounding area features traditional shops selling Umegae Mochi, a local sweet, and various artisanal crafts, offering a delightful cultural and culinary experience.
Entry to the main grounds of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is generally free and open to the public. There is usually no need for a ticket to wander through the shrine complex and offer prayers. However, some special exhibitions, specific halls, or seasonal events within the shrine's premises might require a separate admission fee. For a comprehensive visit that includes seamless travel and exploration of multiple sites, booking a tour through KKday offers the benefit of pre-arranged transportation and a curated itinerary, simplifying your visit to Dazaifu and other attractions.
The Itoshima Meoto Iwa, or Couple Rocks, are two large granite rocks standing side by side in the ocean off the coast of Futamigaura. They are notable for their distinct sizes, with one being taller than the other, and are connected by a massive shimenawa (sacred straw rope), which is ceremonially replaced once a year. Their formation is a natural result of coastal erosion shaping the hard granite.
The Itoshima Meoto Iwa, meaning 'Husband and Wife Rocks,' are a powerful symbol of marriage, harmonious relationships, and good fortune. The larger rock represents the husband, and the smaller one the wife, bound together eternally by the shimenawa. They are a popular spot for couples and those seeking blessings for lasting love and marital bliss, especially picturesque at sunset.
Reaching the Itoshima Meoto Iwa Rocks, particularly the Futamigaura area, by public transport can be challenging due to limited and infrequent bus services. The most convenient and efficient way is often by private car or as part of a guided day tour. Such tours typically provide comfortable private transportation directly from Fukuoka, allowing you to visit this scenic spot and other nearby attractions without the complexities of navigating local buses or multiple transfers.
The Keya no Oto Sightseeing Boat offers a unique opportunity to explore Japan's largest basalt cave. During the approximately 20-minute boat ride, visitors can marvel at the dramatic hexagonal columnar basalt formations, carved by nature over millennia. The boat navigates into the cave, providing close-up views of the geological wonders and the mesmerizing deep blue waters, offering a spectacular natural scenery experience.
Ichiran no Mori Itoshima provides an immersive experience into the world of Ichiran ramen. Visitors can not only enjoy authentic Ichiran ramen at its restaurant but also gain insight into the ramen-making process through dedicated exhibition areas. It's a culinary journey where you can savor the renowned tonkotsu broth and noodles, and understand the craftsmanship behind this popular dish in a unique setting.
