What other travelers are saying about Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine
No need entrance tickets. Walk along the kokuhaku street you will reach this Shinto Shrine. Along the street there are many shops selling food, souvenir and many more. The scenary is nice.
You have to come early. Here close early. About 4pm.
This sightseeing point was relatively convenient. There was a train station near the walking street towards the place. The station itself was decorated similarly. The street was full of shops selling souvenirs with cartoon characters. Other shops were selling freshly made cake - Ume Mochi. There were a lot of visitors here, especially during holidays. There was parking space within a short distance. Inside the place were some bronze statues. The pond should be planted with flowers, but nothing was found at the time of visit. Besides, there was a monkey show. Taking pictures was not so easy due to overwhelming tourists.
I bought 縁結び
The atmosphere was awesome and they have some activities like making the bad luck go away with 7,000 yen. I don’t remember the accurate number but I had great time here.
I visited this place during winter, and it was quite a pleasant experience.
On the way to the temple, you’ll come across plenty of restaurants to explore.
There is a lovely pond filled with koi fish and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a crane!
The temple itself has a calm and peaceful atmosphere and there’s a trail behind it that’s worth checking out. The trail leads up to a shrine.
A sprawling shrine area that draws a lot of tourists. There are shops leading up to the entrance of the shrine. Can get busy with the number of visitors.
Various sacred cow statues everywhere. Many places to take pics like on the arched bridge over the pond. If you keep walking past the temple area, there are other pathways that take you up to different shrine which are less crowded.
