Fukuoka, Kyushu Island's largest city, is a chief port for centuries. This city is also the southernmost terminus of the World famous Shinkansen Bullet Train.
Dazaifu Tenmangu, one of Japan's most prominent shrines, lies in Dazaifu historical city. It was built to commemorate an influential scholar named Sugawara Michizane; revered as a deity of education – Tenjin. Besides, the shrine is renowned for the sea of plum blossoms (ume) with approximately 6,000 of them on the right side of the shrine's main building ablooming in early spring. You will delightfully enjoy sniffing and viewing these sweet-scented fruits.
Another must-do is climbing a magnificent citadel of Fukuoka Castle Ruins to catch a glimpse of the Fukuoka city. Built by the first feudal Lord of Chikuzen domain, nowadays only Otemon gate, Tamon Turret and a few walls and moats still remain. It's best to visit during the Cherry Blossom Season.
