The city
Dazaifu is a city about 16 km from Fukuoka that for centuries was the administrative and military center of Kyushu. Today it is known for Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, dedicated to the deity of learning, with more than six thousand plum trees, and the Kyushu National Museum, about Japan’s cultural exchanges with Asia. The approach street to the shrine sells umegae-mochi, a traditional sweet.
