Beautiful and historic shrine — even more special with the temporary temple design Dazaifu Tenmangu is a must-visit spot for anyone traveling around Fukuoka. The approach to the shrine is lined with charming shops and snack stalls, creating a lively and traditional atmosphere. When I visited, the main temple seemed to be under construction, but the temporary shrine with trees growing on the roof was absolutely magical and unique — blending nature and spirituality in a beautiful way. There are plenty of local treats to enjoy along the way, especially the famous ume (plum) sweets and mochi. Just note that most food stalls close around 5 PM, so it’s best to arrive earlier if you want to enjoy the full experience. Overall, Dazaifu remains a peaceful, scenic, and culturally rich destination, even during renovations. Definitely worth a visit!

Worth the drive. It’s a cute bustling town right outside with a cute retro train, Ramen shops and tea cafes. Definitely need a half day in this area. The temple is beautiful. There alot tourist that visit. I went on a Saturday and I was still able to get food quick. I rented a kimono to walk around. Reservations is recommended as walks in on weekends seems impossible

Daizaifu Tenmangu Shrine is just a short bus ride from Hakata, making it an easy day trip. It can get quite crowded, but the atmosphere is nice and the shrine itself is beautiful. There’s not much to do afterward unless you’re really into sightseeing, though there is a museum right beside it that’s worth checking out if you have extra time.

This Shrine and temple is a bit further out from the ones in the main city but well worth the trip. It was very busy when I arrived but it don’t feel overwhelming with the crowds. The path leading up to it had many shops and places to grab some food. The bridges to the temple are a real wow and then you enter the temple which is stunning. Inside the grounds there are more little shops for souvenirs. Toilet facilities available.

There were quite a lot of people, but it didn’t feel crowded. The Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine area is shaded with trees and has a pleasant atmosphere — great for taking photos. There are also many shops along the way to the Shrine where you can stroll around and enjoy browsing. Don’t forget to try the red bean cake — there are many stalls to choose from!

If you are in Fukuoka, this should be in your list. In front of the shrine, there are many local shops and restaurants. The shrine here is well known for students who would like to make their wish for their studying at least to make them having more confidence. As for tourists, yes good place to visit and observe their culture. Many nice restaurants worth trying too.

Arriving at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine around 7:30 AM, I was immediately struck by its beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The thick, massive trunks testify to the great age of the trees. The grounds were particularly peaceful, and it was lovely to see many school children visiting to pray for academic success. However, the serene environment changed significantly; by the time I departed around 11:30 AM, the compound and the road leading to the temple had become quite crowded.

Got there around 6pm. and shop was quite empty. • Pay before seated - same system as other ramen shops. Choose own ramen at machine, pay, get ticket and hand it over to staff before seated. • Pick how noodles to be cooked - I like soft noodles. They came out nice and smooth. • Pick how spicy - I ordered spicy and it was yummy. • Gyoza - delicious • Service - did not notice any smiles on any staff. Points to remember: • Bring own tissue/ napkin as we were not offered any towels nor napkins • No free pickles - some ramen shops offer pickles like ginger or cabbage.

My family and I went to this restaurant to take refuge from the rain, since it was right next to Dazaifu station and had no queue. The ramen was decent but a bit on the pricier side. Plus it was nothing to write home about, and you’d find more local and distinct food choices in the adjoining shopping street. However, if you’re looking for a place to sit down and have a nice bowl of ramen, this place isn’t a bad choice.

Soup is tasty, noodle is good. Located at the intersection, near by bus stop. Recommend classic ramen.

Ramen is delicious. Young people cook and serve. Polite and able to speak with simple English for helping order the food. :)

Hakata ramen, rich soup but not too salty! and you can choose the hardness of noodle, how much of spring onion and chili paste.

Just normal. You can skip if not enough time for your trip.

I had the katsuo seafood based soup and it was superb. The mentaiko rice is very delicious too. Queue might be long if your timing coincide with the tour bus. This is the ramen you have to try if you are in Fukuoka.

We stopped by this beautiful Starbucks designed by architect Kengo Kuma when visiting Dazaifu Tenmangu. It wasn’t crowded when we arrived so I really enjoyed it here. It’s much better than the Starbuck in traditional house in Kyoto imo. I loved that it is much spacious and aesthetic. Service was warm and fast. I got the yuzu citrus tea, matcha latte ( matcha made in Japan) in Venti, and sweet potato malasada. Both drinks were so delicious.

This Starbucks outlet has a very unique design so unlike other outlets. It has a lot of wooden beams placed along its roof and sides. Maybe due to its uniqueness, it’s so crowded, finding a seat at peak time is impossible. The staff even mixed up my order with another similar order, maybe too stress out from so many non stop orders. They hardly have time to clean up the seats. 🤪 a victim of its social media popularity 😉 i would just recommend a visit to see the design as the drinks are the same as other Starbucks.

The Starbucks at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Fukuoka is more than just a coffee shop, it’s a stunning work of art. The store blends seamlessly with the sacred surroundings, featuring over 2,000 interwoven wooden sticks that create a mesmerizing lattice effect. The flowing structure mimics the surrounding forest, harmonizing modernity with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The unique design making this Starbucks a must-visit for architecture lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike. A true masterpiece where culture, nature, and contemporary design unite.

A shrine-path stop with Kengo Kuma timber lattices that ripple like waves; the design alone soothe. Drip coffee tastes steady, matcha latte gentle, and seasonal yuzu cake gives soft perfume. Crowds spike at temple hours, but seats turn quick. Staff bow and smile; trash sorting is clear, and the patio catches a calm breeze.

One of the best architectural Starbucks, no long queue, and the staff were well presented. Service is very fast and convenient

Interesting architecture that stood out along the street. But way too crowded and hard to find seats for a family of 5. Staff were friendly and handed out drip coffee samples to promote their Jpn-ltd edn drip coffee glassware! Seasonal earl grey floral frappucino was unique.. but the hojicha latte lacked the richness as compared to Teavana at Hakata central.

Special Starbucks with wood as the theme, there's special cups made by local artist which is solely for this shop. Love it.

There is an admission ticket of 700 yen for adults. However, this does not cover the rides. You will have to pay between 300 yen to 400 yen if you wish to take the rides. Alternatively, you can get a day pass at 3000 yen to allow u to take the ride unlimited times. I will say this place is worth a stopover if you are coming with children. The rides were quite limited but children will definitely enjoy this place as it is more suited for kids under 11 years old. I made a stopover since I am around Dazaifu already.

It’s a charming, retro-style park with a nostalgic Showa-era vibe. Many rides are self-service or coin-operated, and some were closed during my visit, but that added to the quirky experience. I didn’t go on any rides—just wandered around soaking in the atmosphere. There’s also a small critter area where you can feed goats and guinea pigs, which was a nice touch.  While I’ve been to other similar old-school amusement parks in Japan that I prefer, this one has its own unique charm. It’s not a must-visit, but if you’re in the area and appreciate vintage amusement parks, it’s worth a stop.

This park will be more ideal for families with children. Lots of the rides are kid friendly. There is an entrance fee of 700yen and you can purchase all day passes or 100yen coupons. You can also pass cash to the attendant.

It was a fun park for babies 0 to Adults! Definitely a place to checkout after visiting the Shrine! Only 5 minute walk from Dazaifu tenmagu

Poor service at the ticket office and ok experience inside. Definitely not coming back!

The North Korea experience. Substitute "retro" for run down and neglected. Half of the games dont work at all. The others sound like they could give up at any moment.

This place was the literal best. Better than Universal and Disneysea I hope TikTok popularity doesn’t ruin it

One of the four national museums, but compared to the one in Tokyo, the one here in Dazaifu falls short in terms of exhibits and size. However, the architecture and the museum grounds were impressive and it's definitely worth a visit should you be in Dazaifu.

The Museum is genuinely interesting and the exhibit was overall well explained. It takes you through a tour of Kyushu's history from the Yayoi period up to modern times. It's nice to see a good museum that wasn't built of stolen artefacts. Lots of pieces were donated by various countries, really wish that museums back in Europe would do the same and not just keep stolen things forever. It's worth the detour if you're in Dazaifu for sure!

​I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Kyushu National Museum. It's a truly modern and stunningly designed building. The exhibits are fantastic, offering deep dives primarily into the art and history of Japan, Korea, and China. Despite being on a tight schedule, I was so captivated that I ended up spending almost three hours exploring the collections.

The museum is pretty huge! If you’re unable to climb the stairs, you’ll have to go from the opposite side and go up the rainbow stairway or rainbow bridge. It’s super big so expect to spend some hours at the museum.

Great exhibits. They rotate exhibits upstairs and there is a tiered pricing structure. No pictures inside the exhibits.

Beautiful museum! Was recommended to me by a lady in tourist information and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I paid extra for the special exhibition and it was worth it. Everything was written in japanese and english , easy to understand and all the staff were really helpful. They even offer free guided tour. I will definitely visit again. Don't forget the stamp!

I think this is a best place to go and learn ancient kyushu history and also mordernization of kyushu. The exhibits are meaningful and discription is clear. There is a free audio guide at the entrance. Understand the history of this place make your enjoy and appreciate more of what Kyushu can offer

"Serenity (before 10.30)" Arrived early for Dazaifu and most shops weren't opened yet, so we headed to Kamado Shrine instead. Glad we made it early and managed to catch the place before the crowds set in. Beautiful and quiet, the shrine's set atop the mountain which provided a beautiful view overlooking Dazaifu. The amulet gift shop—designed by Masamichi Katayama—is one of the most modern ones I've ever come across!

A very beautiful, quiet, and peaceful temple. However, the many Chinese tourists who come here because of the popularity of popular anime should be more respectful to other visitors. A stunning shop with a variety of omamori and other goods! The couple omikuji there is another level of visual perfection 😍 Very clean, beautiful, and most importantly, there's a stunning view down the street. One thing to keep in mind: check the bus schedule and arrive early, as many people walk there and, when exhausted, take the bus back, which can be very crowded.

It’s located on a hill. Lots of parking space. We spent around 30minutes to walk from Dazaifu. Ema here is pretty cool! Many people draw characters in demon slayer on the ema. They designed a new building to sell omamori and the display is good. However, you can buy omamori of the shrine in Dazaifu.

A lovely tranquil shrine with huge trees. The shop for buying souvenirs or prayer objects is modern and impressive.

The Kamado Shrine is located about 10 minutes bus ride from Dazaifu Station. The bus was not frequent - about two per hour so please check the timetable. The omamori available here are of great variety and some of them are quite unique design too. Although we visited on an extremely hot day, we enjoyed it very much.

Great sunset to watch from here. Just don't take the bus back to Dazaifu after sunset, the traffic is insane... You'd be faster walking down.

Shrine with scenic view, get to watch the best and most beautiful sunset here, right behind the souvenir shop. You can get to see Demon Slayer related art here too. You can take bus to reach at the bus stop right infront Fukuoka Bank at Daizaifu Station.

Accommodated us even though it's almost closing time. Food was a little salty for us but tasted good. Cooked just right. They have English menu and some staff could also undersrand. You could also choose to seat on a tatami or chair.

I came very early to this restaurant for lunch at around 11am/11:30am so it was quiet and I could enjoy a very beautiful garden view. If you wish to see it closer, it is possible to choose those 3 tables on tatami just in front of the garden doors. The seafood bowl was pretty nice and fresh. It's a nice place to rest and dine after seeing around in Dazaifu.

Beautiful setting with Western style and Japanese style seating. They were kind enough to accommodate our vegetarian diet with some delicious tempura, soba, and soup. The service was fast and the food was delicious. The view into the back garden is wonderful.

Wonderful atmosphere to enjoy lunch, filling yet not overly stuffed meal. I tried the 3 soba with tempura. Each soba was slightly different in flavor but delicious. The surrounding was the highlight of the meal tho. Service was excellent and accommodating as always!

Should be my best Japanese cuisine experience in this Japan trip When I came to the restaurant, it was full house and needs to wait for a few tables. And the receptionist lady was really nice that she reserved the closest table as we requested for the outstanding garden view After that we looked at the menu we wanna try the famous roasted red bean rice cake, sashimi set. And 3 types of wheat noodle sets. They were outstanding and spectacular Highly recommend to request for the garden view tables( should be 3 tables) And the prices is not expensive

The food here is just fine, but is pricey. Unless you don't have any other place to eat, find another option. The good thing about this place though is that their service is good and the ambiance is also nice. There is also an option here to eat on tatami seating.

Decent Japanese food. Mainly bentos, soba, udon, tempura. Limited seats and long queue depending on what time you arrive. You need to order and pay at the counter. They have a nice garden that is photo worthy.

We enjoyed this place so much, food is outstanding!

Traditional japan food with kind ladies

delicious seasonal meal course friendly service highly recommend to try

A very charming restaurant in a calm street. Perfect to escape from the crowds and have a delicious meal.

(Translated by Google) I didn't make a reservation, so I suddenly came to the store around 12:00 on a Saturday, but there were other customers who wanted to join me, so I was able to get in without lining up. However, I think it would be safer to make a reservation. Although it was a sudden visit, I was welcomed warmly, had courteous customer service, and enjoyed delicious food. Both the vegetables and stews have a gentle seasoning and are heartwarming☺️ The rice and miso soup came out later, which made me happy because I was careful about the order in which I ate them, and the rice was fresh and shiny 🍚 It also came with dessert, so I'm glad I was able to relax 🌸 (Original) 予約してなくて、12時ごろの土曜にいきなり来店しましたが、合席してくださるお客さんがいて、並ばずに入れました✨ ですが、予約していた方が確実かと思います。 いきなりの来店でしたが、快く迎えてくださり、丁寧な接客と美味しいご飯でした。 お野菜も煮物も味付けが優しくてほっこり☺️ ご飯と味噌汁が後で出てくるのも食べる順番を気をつけてるから嬉しく、お米も新米でツヤツヤ🍚 デザートもついてて、ゆったり過ごせてよかったです🌸

(Translated by Google) It was the last order before going to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, but they kindly let me in. The female owner was very nice. If I ask for free refills of rice, will I have pickles as well? He gave it to me! I really liked the way the rice was cooked. The side dishes are also seasoned to bring out the flavor of the ingredients, giving it a gentle feel. There are counter and table seats. I definitely want to stop by here when I go to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. ………………………………… This is my second visit. I stopped by for lunch before going to Dazaifu Tenmangu on a tour! It was delicious last time and I want to go again. This time, the chilled sweetfish soup set was about 2000 yen. I asked for The rice is cooked well as always, and all the side dishes are delicious ♡ You can make rice with rice 🍚 The woman who owns the shop was also friendly and talked to me. This is a store I want to go to again. There is also a parking lot where you can park your bike. (Original) 太宰府天満宮行く前にラストオーダーギリギリでしたが快く入店させて下さいました 女性の店主さんでとても感じが良かったです ご飯おかわり自由でお願いしたらお漬物も食べます？と出してくれました！ ご飯の炊き方がとても私好みでした おかずも素材の味を引き立てた味付けで優しい感じです カウンターとテーブル席があります 又太宰府天満宮行く時は必ずここに立ち寄りたいです …………………………… 2度目の訪問です ツーリング途中太宰府天満宮行く前にランチで伺いました！ 前回美味しくて又行きたいなと思っていて 今回は鮎の冷や汁定食2000円くらいだったかな？を頼みました 相変わらずお米の炊き方良くて 副菜もどれも美味しいです♡ ご飯のオカワリ出来ます🍚 店主の女性の方も気さくに話してくれて 又行きたいお店です 駐車場はバイクも置ける所があるそうです

(Translated by Google) I arrived as soon as they opened on a weekday. I made a phone reservation the day before to secure a seat! ＼(^_^)／ The customer service and phone service were both excellent. There's also a dedicated parking lot, so I could relax. 🎶 I ordered the "Hagi Bento ¥2,000." I wanted to order the "Hiyori Omakase Zen," but they've apparently reduced the menu due to the COVID-19 pandemic.) Refills of rice and pickles are available. A wild vegetable dish is served. It's enough for a woman, about 80% full. Jazz music plays in the background, and the interior is designed with a great view of the scenery. The only downside is the limited selection. They offer soy milk jelly for dessert, but coffee is an additional charge. However, the fact that there's no parking fee makes up for that. (Original) 平日開店と同時に入店。当日に電話予約で座席確保っ＼(^_^)／ 電話対応・接客、共に良い。専用駐車場も有りゆっくりとできる🎶 “萩弁当 ¥ 2.000” をオーダー。(“日和おまかせ膳”をオーダーしたかったがコロナ禍に伴い献立を減らしているとのこと。) ご飯・漬物はおかわり可。 山菜料理を提供される。女性で腹八分目といったところだ。 店内はBGMはジャズが流れ、外の景色がよく観えるつくりになっている。 残念な点は、品数が少なめであること。 デザートで豆乳ゼリーがでるがコーヒーは別料金になってしまうところだ。 だが、駐車場料金がかからないところで、カバーできる。

Was there as part of a tour group. This cafe is located within the temple grounds. Lots of seating but there were a lot of tour groups. Food was decent and it was already on the table when we reached. It was not warm or hot. But taste wise was OK.

Rude! We were shouted at and pointed to get out, when all we asked if we could eat there. The lady told us off that they were full and we have to get lost from the restaurant. Shocking ! I wont advice for you to come.

Comfort food with planty of seats. Nice complimentary cold tea. Recommend: 親子丼(oyako-don) . Tried half bowl original and added pepper and spices for the rest.

Nice services!

Very nicely located, a little away from the main temple. The outside tables are on straw mats under a shade which is really pleasant. The food is mostly average except for the original soba dish in yume (plum) broth. It's also possible to just drink a cup of tea and eat the local red bean cake.

Bad service experience

(Translated by Google) I had champon at Shoseikan, near Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Located a short walk from the approach to the shrine, this restaurant has a traditional, relaxed atmosphere, different from the hustle and bustle of the tourist area. It has an unpretentious warmth, and is the kind of restaurant that even locals drop in to. The champon I ordered was truly "simple and delicious." It was filled with plenty of vegetables and pork, and had a gentle flavor that brought out the sweetness of the vegetables. The cloudy soup was mellow and not too rich, making it easy to drink to the last drop. The noodles were just the right thickness and were satisfying, mixing well with the soup. It wasn't flashy, but it was a comforting, old-fashioned champon that I really liked. The restaurant is mainly table seating, and has a nostalgic diner atmosphere. At lunchtime, there were many local regulars, and it was clear that this is a beloved restaurant. The service was friendly and I had a pleasant meal. I recommend this restaurant for those who want to enjoy truly delicious local champon, rather than the flashy menu typical of tourist destinations. This restaurant is perfect for when you want something warm to eat or a relaxing break while exploring Dazaifu. 📍Shoseikan (Dazaifu) Genre: Restaurant / Champon Features: Simple and gentle flavors / Relaxed atmosphere with a local feel Recommended: Champon / Perfect for lunch between sightseeing (Original) 太宰府天満宮の近くにある「照星館」でちゃんぽんをいただきました。 参道から少し歩いた場所にあり、観光エリアの賑わいとは違う、昔ながらの落ち着いた雰囲気が漂う食堂です。 気取らない温かさがあり、地元の方もふらっと立ち寄るようなお店でした。 注文したちゃんぽんは、まさに“素朴でおいしい”という言葉がぴったり。 たっぷりの野菜と豚肉が入っていて、野菜の甘みがしっかりスープに出ている優しい味わい。 白濁したスープはまろやかで、こってりしすぎず最後まで飲みやすいバランスでした。 麺はほどよい太さで食べ応えがあり、スープとよく絡みます。 派手さはないけれど、気持ちがほっとするような昔ながらのちゃんぽんで、とても好みの味でした。 店内はテーブル席が中心で、どこか懐かしい食堂の空気感。 お昼どきは地元の常連さんらしき方も多く、愛されているお店という雰囲気が伝わってきます。 接客も親切で、気持ちよく食事ができました。 観光地らしい派手なメニューではなく、しみじみ美味しい“地元のちゃんぽん”を味わいたい人におすすめ。 太宰府散策の途中に温かいものを食べたいとき、ゆっくり休憩したいときにちょうど良いお店です。 📍照星館（太宰府） ・ジャンル：食堂／ちゃんぽん ・特徴：素朴で優しい味／地元感のある落ち着いた雰囲気 ・おすすめ：ちゃんぽん／観光の合間のランチにぴったり

First ideally you book a table! Everyone gets their own room so if you are alone like me then you are sitting by yourself in a room. I wanted to leave but the waitress was so kind and really helped me out with all the menu choices. Most things are sets starting from 3500 but I got to pick from a la carte and it was delicious! Waitress did warn me the tempura was too big for one person… she was right! Lovely garden too. Recommend but for 2 or more people.

OMG! I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! You have to visit here if you are visiting Daizaifu 太宰府 It’s not a touristy place but rather local. The service was 101/100! Food was amazing and there was no time limitation for dining in. Price is rather cheap for such a great food and service, also the atmosphere and lovely interior design.

Beautiful garden. The food was super tasty and the experience was nice.

Beautiful setting with a traditional garden for tofu based kaiseki meals. Tatami rooms with space for legs under tables. On a small side street near Dazaifu Shrine without parking, but two small paid parking lots are within walking distance. Kaiseki meal featuring yudofu and yuba was very good and nicely presented. Guests are allowed to stroll in the Japanese garden, and will loan you an umbrella if needed.

Incredibly beautiful entrance with lovely tatami mat floors, excellent staff, and fabulous tofu based cuisine. That kind of cuisine is just not available in the US. Cheers & happy eating, DocMikeChiro

Service was excellent. Food was good. Price was reasonable given the amount of dishes. Serving of foods was like Chinese 10-course dinner, one part at a time. 😀

Excellent traditional Japanese restaurant in a beautiful traditional garden .The dofu and all local specialities were great . Impeccable service of high class .good value for money. Highly recommended even if no sign in English and very little English spoken here.

Absolutely magnificent and even a bit mysterious historical site. The atmosphere is close to the one you can experience at the Heijo Palace Site in Nara (but it's a bit quieter here). There are plenty of benches so you can sit and enjoy the view or try to immerse yourself into history.

If you take a walk from Futsukaichi Station, you will arrive at the historic site that was once the center of the city. Tenmangu Shrine will be the focus, but I think you can learn more about the history if you visit all of them at once. Recommended for going to and from Tenmangu Shrine.

Open park, showing the left behind foundation in the ground. Nothing much to see for tourist. Not sure the significance as a tourist. But it’s a beautiful park - great for a picnic and the kids to run around. Not much shelter from the sun.

Ruins of an ancient city and government complex.More interesting to Japanese but nice mountain scenery.

Make this the starting point for a walk around the beautiful surrounding area. Killer wasps near the shrines only add to the allure.

Cherry blossom is very beautiful in here , a little regrettable factor in here is too many foreign tourists and some of them are too noisy to break the calm atmosphere.

Beautiful park for cherry blossom and let kids roam around all day.

You can collect manhole card here

(Translated by Google) An exhibition hall located on the site of the Dazaifu Government Office. The site itself is just a vacant lot, so it's better to stop by here. The price is reasonable at 200 yen, and the guide will give you detailed explanations. Models of buildings from that time and excavated items are on display. Although it's not that big, there were a lot of explanations and I was able to understand Dazaifu well. (Original) 太宰府政庁跡地の中にある展示館。跡地自体はただの空き地なので、こちらに立ち寄った方がいいです。値段も二百円と良心的で、案内員の方が丁寧に説明してくれます。当時の建物の模型や出土した品などが展示されています。それほど広くはないけど、説明も多く大宰府についてよく理解できました。

(Translated by Google) 📅Early May 2025 I visited to get a manhole card. There are three types of manhole cards for Dazaifu City. The second one is a character from the Manyoshu. In addition to the manholes with designs on them, there are several other manholes in Dazaifu City, so I walked around and took photos. The staff at this information center kindly told me about the locations and the least crowded routes. There is also a face-in panel😆 (Original) 📅2025-5月上旬 マンホールカードをいただきに訪問。 太宰府市のマンホールカードは、3種類。 2つ目は、万葉集からのキャラクター。 太宰府市は、マンホールカードのデザインマンホール以外にもマンホールが幾つかあり、ぐるっと散策して写真撮影。 こちらの情報館の係員が親切に場所や混まない道を教えて下さいました。 顔ハメパネルもあります😆

(Translated by Google) This is a small exhibition hall specializing in the excavation results of the Dazaifu Government Office ruins. What did this government office in Dazaifu, far away from the capital of Nara, with its Jobo system, accomplish in the history of Japan? I thought I had to study more! As soon as I entered the museum, I realized that the Reiwa era festival was still going on... (Original) 太宰府政庁跡の発掘調査結果に特化した、小さな展示館です。奈良の都から遠く離れた、ここ太宰府に条坊制まで備えた政庁が、日本の歴史に何を成したのか？もっと勉強しなくてはと思いました! 入館したとたん、まだ令和改元のお祭りが……

(Translated by Google) Visited on January 13, 2024. 200 yen for adults. Although it was a small exhibition hall, there was an interpreter who explained the history of Dazaifu and the exhibits and was happy to answer any questions I had. A diorama of the ``Plum Blossom Banquet'' held at Tabito Otomo's residence. The ``Plum Blossom Banquet'' is the origin of the era name ``Reiwa.'' There is also a reenactment of the meal at the Plum Blossom Banquet. The restored model of Dazaifu and the locations of Mizuki and castles around Dazaifu were interesting and effective. We recommend that you take a look at the Buddhist statues at Kanzeonji Temple, which is easily located nearby. There is nothing left of the Dazaifu Government Office, so we recommend stopping by the exhibition hall. By the way, the place name is ``Dazaifu'' and the government office is ``Dazaifu'', so be careful when searching for routes such as buses. (Original) 2024年1月13日に見学。 大人200円。 小さな展示館ですが、解説の方がいて大宰府の歴史と展示品の説明や質問にも快く答えてくれました。 大伴旅人の邸宅で開かれた「梅花の宴」のジオラマ。「梅花の宴」こそ、元号「令和」の由来です。 「梅花の宴」での食事の再現もあります。 大宰府の復元模型、大宰府周辺の水城や城の位置など興味深く効きました。 簡単に近くにある「観世音寺」の仏像はぜひ見てほしいとのこと。 大宰府政庁跡は何もないので、展示館に立ち寄ることをおすすめします。 ちなみに地名は「太宰府」、政庁は「大宰府」で、バスなど経路検索には気をつけましょう。

(Translated by Google) Come here to stamp the Hundred Cities Stamp. The staff is very kind, but we aim for a long time and it still moves. Please remind everyone (Original) 來這裡蓋百城印章，工作人員大姐非常親切，但我們對準半天蓋下去還是位移的，提醒大家

(Translated by Google) The site of an old government office. Seeing the building's remains. The vast open space, clear sky, green, green. My spirits soared. (Original) 옛 관청 자리. 건물의 터를 봄. 빵 뚫린 넓은터에 맑은 하늘~~~초록초록. 기분이 뻥 뚫림

Highly not recommended. It is closed. If you want the see the Buddha, ticket is ¥500.

It is an old temple and just a visit if you are interested. For us it was a bit boring.

I dont think this place Is operational. It was closed when I went. But the place seemed well kept.

GREAT ancient temple in Japan. Many buddhist statues are impressive.

This was once the biggest temple in Kyushu and is really why the Tenmangu Shrine is here too … now much diminished, it is still rustically atmospheric, with very few visitors and pleasantly unkempt grounds and gardens. The museum is a must for anyone interested in Buddhist art.

A very tranquil place. Not touristy and so, you get to recharge sufficiently. I do recommend visiting despite the walk (likely from Daizaifu Tenmangu).

It certainly has seen better days, but this used to be the most important temple here. You can get gochuin in the storage.

The shrine was closed. I only get to see the area that was open. But the place is closed.

Located next to Dazaifu Temanggu. Not as crowded as Temanggu as well but equally beautiful

parts of this temple were closed and you cannot get your goshuincho stamp here, but the gardens alone make up for it. komyozenji has one of the only rock gardens on kyushu, and its stunning in the fall. the man who was working there was very polite and helpful.

Was really loooking forwarBut it was closed and I have no idea why. There was no notice.

Fantastic in the fall. I'm here inside the garden, and the stones, the leaves and the silence is very settling :)

Small one. Very peaceful, you can hear the ceremonies going on. Visit here during spring or autumn to see the best designed zen garden around. You need to stay on the temple balcony, can't walk the garden but still, it's breathtaking.

Its a good place for you to experience the Japanese culture nd feeling of watching the maples, juz sit and watch quietly.

I like the viewpoint it overlooked the whole Dazaifu, but the ruins of the Iwaya Castle are gone. It has NOTHING left.

This is the site of the ancient Iwaya Castle. From this viewpoint you have a great view of Dazaifu City, Mt. Homan, and the surrounding environs. Easily accessible from the Mt. Shioji road.

Great bird’s eye of Dazaifu city,

(Translated by Google) With fewer than 800 men, the famous general Takahashi Shoun defended the castle to the death for two weeks against an attacking Shimazu army numbering anywhere between 20,000 and 40,000 (according to various accounts). The castle fell in a full-scale attack by the Shimazu, but Takahashi Shoun and the other samurai warriors demonstrated their loyalty and the true spirit of the samurai to future generations. Today, only a gentle breeze blows. With excellent views to the north and south, including Dazaifu city below, it is easy to see why the castle was built on this site. (Original) 名将、高橋紹運公が800名にも満たない中で、諸説あるが２万から４万名の島津の寄せ手に対して２週間もの間、死守しました。島津の総攻撃にて落城しましたが、高橋紹運以下の侍、武士達は後世にその忠義ぶり、武士の本懐を示しました。 今は静かな風だけが吹きます。眼下には大宰府市内を始め、南北の眺望良く、この地に城が築かれたのがよくわかります。

(Translated by Google) This is the castle where Takahashi Shoun died. Anyone researching or visiting this place is probably familiar with the Battle of Iwaya Castle, so there's no need to explain that. It's not really a mountain, but rather a really small hill. If you stay at a hotel at the foot of the hill, you can park your car there and walk there in about 30 minutes. There is no sidewalk, so you'll need to walk carefully. By car, the road is winding, so it will probably take about 10 minutes at a slow pace. There is no parking lot, so you'll probably have to park in a space on the side of the road (at your own risk). Follow the signs and climb up, and you'll be greeted by a wide view of the signs and the scenery. On a clear day, you can get a beautiful view of the town of Dazaifu♪ It was really fun to imagine that a battle between 763 (Namusan) people vs. tens of thousands of people took place here. (Original) 高橋紹運公が散った城です。 そもそもここを調べて見てる人＝岩屋城の戦いを知ってる人なので、そっちの説明は不要ですね。 山というか、ほんとに小さな小山です。 小山の麓にあるホテルに泊まると、そこへ車を止めて徒歩で30分くらいで到着します。歩道は無いので注意して歩く必要があります。 車だと道がグネグネなのでゆっくり進んで10分くらい掛かりそうです。その場合に駐車場は無いので、路肩にあるスペースに（自己責任で）停める感じでしょうか？ 案内に沿って登ると看板と景観が広がります。 晴れてると大宰府の町が綺麗に見えて良いですね♪ ここで763（南無三）人vs数万人の戦があったのかと思いを巡らせるのがホントに楽しかった。

(Translated by Google) Takahashi Shoun's final resting place. There is also his grave. It was lower than I expected, and I was amazed that he was able to withstand the Shimazu attacks for 10 days here. The Satsuma forces, exhausted by Takahashi Shoun, were unable to take Tachibana Castle and returned to Satsuma in disgrace. He was then completely defeated by soldiers from the upper echelons at Nejozaka Pass, and became a local feudal lord. (Original) 高橋紹運の最後の地 お墓もあります。 思ったより低くてここでよく10日間も島津の攻撃を耐えたもんだと思いました。 高橋紹運に力を使い果たした薩摩はその後の立花城は落とせずすごすごと薩摩に帰ってます。 その後、根城坂で上方の兵にこてんぱんにやられ地方の一大名になってしまう

(Translated by Google) The Iwaya Castle ruins are only marked by a small blue sign and a wooden sign along the road to Ono Castle, so be careful not to pass it by. There are no parking lots or parking spaces near the road leading up to the Honmaru ruins or the road leading down to the Ninomaru ruins (the grave of Takahashi Shouun). If you come up from the bottom, there is a space for one car in front, and a place to park about 3-4 cars on the side of the road a little further ahead. During the Sengoku period, Takahashi Shouun was killed in a heroic battle defending this castle. His son was the famous Tachibana Muneshige, known as one of Kyushu's greatest generals. This is a spot that history buffs should visit at least once, as it was the site of Shouun's loyal and determined siege. The castle ruins are simple, but it is a quiet place where you can experience the important stage of Sengoku history. The view from the Honmaru ruins is also nice. (Original) 岩屋城跡は、大野城に向かう道路沿いに小さな青い案内板や木の看板があるだけなので、通り過ぎないよう注意が必要です。本丸跡に上がる道や、二の丸跡（高橋紹運の墓）に下る道のそばには駐車場、駐車スペースはありません。下から上がってくると、手前に1台分ほどのスペース、さらに少し先の路肩に3〜4台ほど停められる場所があります。戦国時代、この城を守って壮絶な討死を遂げたのが高橋紹運。その息子があの立花宗茂で、九州を代表する名将として知られています。紹運の忠義と覚悟の籠城戦の舞台となった場所だけに、歴史好きなら一度は訪れておきたいスポット。城跡は簡素ですが、戦国史の重要な舞台を実感できる静かな場所です。本丸跡からの眺めも良いです。

From the main Dazaifu temple, it is about a 15mins leisure walk up. Its not very difficult and there are gentle slopes and steps for you to choose from. Very quaint and quiet temple. There is also a flight of steps of Tori gates leading to the temple.

Just past the main Dazaifu temple area, you can find trails up to the small Tenkai Inari Shrine and the many red torii gates. It's not that busy so nice place for pics. You'll see statues of foxes (which are the messengers of inari). There is a short and steep set of stairs to get to the shrine.

Quite and peaceful shrine near Daizafu with Tori gates. A bit hike but very easy to climb up until the top.

If you want to have a less stair-intensive climb, you can follow Google maps and go up the path beside the amusement park entrance instead. It is a more leisurely climb. The shrine itself was a nice small area (no photo of the shrine, sorry!) I think it gives off a feeling of reward for the people who made the climb up from Tenmangu. The one thing that really perplexed me was why an amusement park was right beside a holy place. It was blaring music that pierced through the forest all the way up to the shrine. It is impossible to experience tranquility. Although I suppose it is a test of inner peace, if you are able to focus inwards and zone out the annoying noise...

A small shrine away from the tourist, though you need to climb quite some stairs.

There's a lot more to watch than I thought. Delicious restaurants, various souvenir shops, bakery and umbrella shops. When you go to a Japanese shrine, young women wear traditional clothes and sell items for wishes. There are a lot of really huge trees planted behind the shrine. In the middle of January every year, many Japanese parents come to visit and pray to God to help their children study well. You have to wait a long time to park. There are so many people. There is a golden calf in front of the Japanese shrine, and it is believed that touching certain areas of the calf restores the sick body.

Hidden shrine behind Dazaifu. Climb up the tori gates and you will find this shrine at the end. Not manned by any one. There’s a mysterious shrine where you can pray to the fox god too. Not know by many of the tourists who come to Dazaifu so I highly recommend this hidden gem.

This charming spot in Dazaifu offers a lovely environment to sit back and enjoy the locally famous Umegae mochi. The mochi is freshly made, with a soft, chewy texture and filled with sweet red bean paste. It pairs wonderfully with a warm cup of matcha. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, making it a perfect place to unwind. The service was also fantastic, adding to the overall great experience. A peaceful, enjoyable spot for dessert lovers!

The red bean mochi bun taste good but I prefer a 100% soft mochi texture instead of one that’s “toasted” on the outside.

Package included a redeem ticket for one 梅が枝餅 Umegae mochi, hot mochi with red bean paste which was not over sweet.

25 every month we can enjoy the green one茶🍵

Umegae mochi (梅ヶ枝餅) is a popular specialty of Dazaifu (太宰府). It is a lightly baked mochi cake filled with sweet azuki paste and stamped in plum shape. On the street leading up to Tenmangu shrine (天満宮), you will see plenty of shops selling umegae mochi. We picked the mostly recommended teahouse to enjoy this local delicacy. The takeout line was really long but luckily we could easily got a dine-in table. ＊Umegae 梅ヶ枝餅🌟 The OG umegae mochi was my fav. The mochi skin was thin, chewy and soft, complementing well with the adequately sweet red bean filling. ＊Kinako Mochi 黄金餅 Generously sprinkled with kinako powder, I could literally bathe my umagae mochi in the pool of soybean dust. It combined warabimochi with the local snack. ＊Milk Choco Mochi 白梅【ミルクチョコ】 Coated with milk chocolate drizzle and chocolate crunches, it was a playful twist of the traditional umegae mochi if you’re down for something new. ＊Matcha 抹茶 ＊Black Milk Tea ブラックミルクティー

Yummy umegae mochi pastry. I stopped by the front desk area for purchase only. I was fascinated by the automatic machine they had in the front. Since it was automated, the quality seems to be consistent. The red bean paste is distributed evenly inside too.

A beautiful must stop-by tea house. Very unassuming from the outside. Delicious, tasteful, amazing experience. Lucky to have a quiet time in the corner room, enjoying the delicious Umegae Mochi with light breeze from the garden.

Recommended restaurants near Dazaifu ⛩️ This homemade-style restaurant has a cute, clean, and pleasing decor. They serve drinks, bakery items, and lunch sets. When the owners brought the food, I was amazed. The food was presented in small, colorful ceramic containers. Everything was delicious. The owners, a husband and wife, were very friendly, lovely, and welcoming. Note: Advance reservations are recommended.

Discovered this quaint and beautiful cafe by chance. The ambiance is lovely and the food is exquisite. There was much detailed care put into the preparing the meals and cakes. The owners are charming and so is the resident 🐈 😸 . Happy to find this place.

Delicious lunch set and amazing service. There is also a cat called Figaro that resides inside the cafe and is incredibly cute. Please check this place out when visiting Dazaifu Tenmagu Shrine. 🩷

Found this restaurant from browsing on the Google map. We love this home style restaurant. Food is delicious and we love the atmosphere here. We are also lucky to meet the house cat who is super cute.

Charming and relaxed tucked away from the nearby crowds—come here for some jazz and coffee with light snacks. Outdoor patio is quiet and I felt super recharged and didn’t want to leave. Friendly staff. Winner!

Fabulous wee coffee shop run by delightful and very helpful people. The coffee was excellent - you get a choice of coffee bean type and it was really good quality. Don’t be in a rush as it is drip coffee so takes a few minutes but is definitely worth it. We had the cheesecake/chocolate cheesecake combination and it was divine; it’s proper cheesecake with a lovely, rich consistency. The lady of the house had decorated the whole cafe in its Christmas finery with real care and attention (even though it is only just November) and there were lots of lovely touches around the room, including in the toilet! It’s an old style house and a real pleasure to spend time in. I hope they are very successful as they so deserve it; it was a bit of a find! Don’t miss it.

Fantastic coffee place off the beaten path. Really worth if you like your speciality coffee.

Do you like ice cream or parfaits? How about ice cream parfaits? If yes - Noel's has your number! This Dazaifu-based Christmas-themed western-menu restaurant specializes in creative presentations of authentic Fukuoka ice cream parfaits. I suppose they're technically shareable, but my only disappointment in being alone was that I was only able to try one. Dazaifu is a great day trip out of Fukuoka, and it wouldn't be complete without a stop at Noel's for an ice cream treat you're not likely to find anywhere else.

I recommend cheese cake !

(Translated by Google) I went with friends for a weekday lunch and ordered a cake lunch set (no drink) plus coffee. The doriya was hot and filling. The dessert looked and tasted good. Unfortunately the hot coffee was too weak. My friend ordered an iced coffee, which seemed to be delicious. The inside of the restaurant was larger than it looked. We were able to chat and dine at our leisure. (Original) 友人達と平日のお昼にケーキ付きランチセット(飲み物無し)にコーヒーをプラスして注文 ドリヤは熱々でボリューム十分 デザートは見た目もお味も満足 ホットコーヒーは薄すぎたのが残念 友人が注文したアイスコーヒーは美味しかったようです 店内は外観より広く ゆっくりとお喋りしながら食事を摂る事ができました

(Translated by Google) There were many kinds of parfaits, and they were gently sweet, so I was able to enjoy them all the way to the end. The parfaits were delicious, but the Or Rice was also so good that I would like to come back again. (Original) パフェの種類も多く、優しい甘さで最後まで美味しくペロリと頂けました。 パフェも美味しかったですが、オルライスが美味しくてまたリピしたいです。

(Translated by Google) Located about a 7-minute walk from Nishitetsu Gojo Station, this restaurant stands out on the first floor of an apartment building along Gakuen-dori Street, with its striking red sign against its blue walls. There is parking space for about five cars in front of the store. Though it's designed like an old-fashioned family restaurant, the bright and clean interior is popular with families and students. The restaurant is spacious, with about 10 table seats. The menu offers a wide variety of classics, from pasta to curry, and lunch options include cake and parfait, making it enjoyable even just to browse the menu. The food is mildly seasoned and easy to eat. We recommend this restaurant as a detour to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine and Kyushu National Museum. While the entrance is a little narrow, the tables are well-spaced inside, making it easy to pass through for strollers and luggage. (Original) 西鉄五条駅から徒歩7分ほど。学園通り沿いのマンションの1階にある青の壁に赤の看板が印象的なお店。店舗前には5台ほどの駐車スペースあり。 一昔前のファミレスのような作りだが、明るくて清潔な店内は家族連れや学生も多い。店内は広く、テーブル席が10席ほどある。 メニューはパスタからカレーなどの定番が揃い、またランチはケーキ付やパフェ付など種類も豊富でメニューを眺めるだけでも楽しめる。 味付けと優しく食べやすい。 太宰府天満宮や九州国立博物館の寄り道先としておすすめしたい。 入口は少し狭いが店内は程よくテーブルが配置されているのでベビーカーや荷物も通りやすい。

(Translated by Google) The waiters and chefs only speak Japanese, and the menu is also in Japanese. However, their service was very friendly and polite, and they made every effort to communicate with us so we could place our order. The food was delicious, especially the cheese curry omurice, which was excellent. The prices were also very good, around 1,200 yen per person, and they only accept cash. (Original) 侍應和廚師都只懂日文，餐牌也只有日文。但是他們服務態度很好十分有禮，他們也盡力和我們溝通令我們成功下單。食物方面是西餐都很好吃，我喜歡芝士咖喱蛋包飯十分出色。價錢方面也很有性價比，人均消費大概1200日元，只收現金。

(Translated by Google) The gratin, doria, parfait, and pasta are all delicious! There's a wide variety to choose from, so it's hard to choose! It's a popular restaurant with a friendly atmosphere that's perfect for families with children! (Original) グラタン、ドリア、パフェ、パスタどれも美味しいです!種類も豊富で迷ってしまいます!子供連れでも入りやすい雰囲気で人気のお店です!

Gave this quaint soba place a try because everywhere else seemed to be packed with visitors—and I regret nothing. The setup is simple and fuss-free. We were seated, and menus were provided (you can opt for one with photos of the dishes). There's free barley tea which you can help yourselves to. We ordered the cold-dipping soba with tempura. It came with matcha salt which was divine. Everything was made in-store and had a homely feel to it. 10/10 would visit again!

Small and cozy, food is yummy, expected some waiting time

Staff are friendly but the food here... well So salty so smooth

(Translated by Google) I visited for lunch after reading the reviews. Great location, right in front of the Dazaifu Station intersection. I went during the day on a weekday, and there were people waiting for their turn, so I was the second group to go. I was told that the 100 percent soba was over, so I went for the 28 soba. The waiting time is quite long. I ate tempura soba. The soba noodles were very delicious, and the noodles and soup were both delicious. The tempura that came on a separate plate was delicious because it was freshly fried, and it was like eating tempura at home. (Original) クチコミを見てランチで伺いました。 太宰府駅の交差点の真ん前で立地最高。 平日昼間に行きましたが順番待ちの方がいて、2組目でした。 十割蕎麦はもう終わりましたと言われ、二八蕎麦にしました。 待ち時間はかなり長めです。 天ぷら蕎麦を食べました。 お蕎麦はとても美味しく、麺も出汁も美味しくいただきました。 別皿に来る天麩羅は揚げたてだから美味しく、自宅で食べるような天麩羅でした。

(Translated by Google) I went there to eat several times. Because I couldn't eat all the time A restaurant where I was finally able to eat There is no parking lot, so I parked at 100P nearby. There is a counter and tables, but it is a small store. Although the restaurant opened soon, it quickly filled up with regular customers. This time, I had my favorite tempura soba. Tempura is so crispy and so light that you can't stop using your chopsticks. The soba noodles are also made by hand every morning. There was a waist and it was great to go over the throat. There are two types: Niha and Juwari. Next time I would like to eat 100 percent soba noodles. Personally, I’m sure it will be a repeat purchase 💕 I'm going to eat mata Thank you for the meal✨ (Original) 何回か食べに行きましたが いつも食べれなかったので やっと食べれる事が出来たお店 駐車場は無いので近くの100Pに停めました お店カウンターとテーブルありますが狭いお店です 開店してまもなくでしたが常連のお客様で直ぐに満席になるお店です。 今回、大好きな天盛り蕎麦を頂きました。 天婦羅サクサクで凄く軽くて箸が止まらない お蕎麦も毎日、朝手打ちとの事 腰がありのど越し最高でした ニハとと十割の2種あるので 今度は十割蕎麦食べたいと思います 私的にはリピ確定💕 マタ食べに行きまーす ご馳走様でし✨

(Translated by Google) This soba noodle shop, run by an elderly couple, is simply delicious and worth the wait. (Original) 一對老夫婦經營的蕎麥麵店 是簡單的美味，值得耐心的等候

(Translated by Google) 1. The shrimp tempura has a texture reminiscent of raw shrimp in rigor mortis... crunchy and perfect. 2. The buckwheat noodles have some old, black grime on them, which is a bit... 3. As expected, Japanese food is salty! 4. It seems like a popular spot for the elderly in the area. Except for the table I was sitting at, everyone else was in their 70s. (Original) 1. 새우튀김은 생새우의 사후경직이 느껴지는 식감... 오독오독 최고임. 2. 모밀 판에 오래된 검은 때가 있어 좀... 3. 역시 일본음식은 짜다! 4. 주변 어르신들이 자주 찾는 곳으로 생각 됨. 내가 앉은 테이블 말고는 전부 70 전후 어르신들.

Very long queues to take photos with the divine bull. Not worth the wait. Instead, head on inside the shrine grounds and you will find two more bulls with no people.

To come here you have to walk along the kokuhaku street. The street left and right got many shops sell food, souvenir and many more. No need entrance tickets. You have to come early because the place close about 4pm. To snap a photo with the divine bull the queue is long.

Long q to touch the bull, seems like it brings people luck/grant wishes! This is at the entrance to the shrine, before crossing the bridge. There is also another bull near to the museum/toilet with lesser crowd (not sure if it works the same way tho).

This bull is a lot less crowded than the other one at the entrance, so I recommend this one if you're trying to get as much luck as possible. They say you gain fortune in the area you pet which is why the head is so worn down.

There was rather a long queue to touch the bull for luck though it did move fast. You can see the shinier parts where visitors have touched.

Green bull rocks this shrine.

Not entirely sure what this bull meant, but there was a queue for taking photos with it. (Apologies for the sensor on the photo)

Very small museum and I think it is not worth ¥500. I would recommend “All 3 museum pass”, which costs ¥1,000, and you can access all the three museums in the area. If you don’t have much time, just skip this museum and go to the main one - Kyushu National museum (¥700).

Exqusite place! A place you must see!

The museum is small and compact. Given its size, the visit was brief, concluding within fifteen minutes of entry. I found the ¥500 entrance fee to be disproportionate to the scale and content of the exhibition.

Small museum. Not a lot to see for 500yen

A nice museum but unfortunately with any English translations we were not able to appreciate it.

I thought this is the big museum... 500 yen for super tiny collections. Absolutely not worth

Nice experience

Pathway to get to the museum. A little underwhelming, might look better at night. Not the best light show but the travelator was nice.

Cool tunnel on the way to the museum! It’s a free of charge to use it so take an advantage of it and enjoy the ride! It’s colorful and cooler place which I enjoyed! Cheers 🥂

This was soo convenient. Long escalator going up, and long walkalator leading to the Kyushu National Museum.

It's 4 escalators / walkways with some lighting effects for two of them. Does the job, but nothing large out of the ordinary.

Nothing special. Just a long travelator or moving pavement with lights changing on the way to Kyushu National museum.

No elevator up to the national museum if you come from daizafu Shrine

This is a long tunnel leading to the museum from the nearby temple shrine and gardens attraction. Technologically, it does look pretty and the presence of escalators makes it convenient to go uphill towards the museum. However, in and of itself, it's just a tunnel with pretty lighting so 4stars is the most it can get.

In total, the Dazaifu shrine-Museum place is very beautiful and always busy. There are a couple of cafes, lots of shrines, temple, lots of plums. Also they sell flowers on the territory. So I think it's worth visiting at least once a season.

Three vermilion bridges cross a heart-shaped pond at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Fukuoka, Japan.

A nice place! Slightly more crowded than other famous shrines in Fukuoka area. The bridge was nice but crowded

3 bridges represents "previous incarnation", "now" and "next incarnation". The past and future may not be as smooth as now, but when u pass these bridges, you already taste lives.

Arch Bridge to cross over to temple area

A bridge which is very crowded and packed with tourists.

Great bridge.

Pond with a fountain surrounding the Taiko bridge.

(Translated by Google) Visited on March 28, 2015. A pond shaped like the kanji for "heart." There are three red bridges spanning this pond. (Original) 2015/03/28来訪。 漢字の「心」を象った池。この池には三つの赤い橋が架かっています。

(Translated by Google) As its name suggests, Shinji Pond is a pond shaped like the character ``heart,'' and it is one of the most emotional Japanese gardens, with a calm and dignified beauty. The reflection of the sky and the greenery of the trees on the surface of the water, and the occasional ripples from the passing wind, were like an ink painting, and I felt my heart become calm just by looking at them. The fact that the shape of the pond resembles the word ``kokoro'' (heart) is very interesting, and it is impressive that you can feel introspective rather than just looking at it. As I walked along the shore of the pond, I felt a strange sensation of being face to face with nature and my own heart. The area is surrounded by trees that change with the seasons, and when I visited, the fresh greenery was reflected in the water, creating a vibrant landscape. It's a place that I'm looking forward to revisiting, as I think it's a place where you can enjoy a different atmosphere during the autumn leaves and snow seasons. The sight of carp swimming leisurely, the chirping of birds in the distance, and even the sound of footsteps as I crossed a small bridge were soothing, and I felt as if I had been removed from everyday life. Although it is located in a tourist spot, this pond has a mysterious power that allows you to naturally calm your mind in a space that is free from noise. ``Shinji Pond'' may not be a flashy tourist attraction, but that's why it's packed with ``quiet emotion'' that you can experience. It was such a special place, not only with its visible beauty, but also with a touch of closeness to the hearts of those who visited. (Original) 心字池は、その名の通り「心」という文字をかたどった池で、日本庭園の中でも特に情緒深く、静寂の中に凛とした美しさをたたえている場所でした。水面に映る空や木々の緑、時折通り過ぎる風が波紋を描く様子は、まるで一枚の水墨画のようで、見ているだけで心が穏やかになっていくのを感じました。 池の形が“心”の字を模しているというのも趣深く、ただ眺めるだけでなく、どこか内省的な気持ちになれるのが印象的です。池のほとりを歩きながら、自然と自分の心と向き合っているような、不思議な感覚に包まれました。 周囲には四季折々の木々が配されていて、私が訪れたときは新緑がきらきらと水面に映り込み、生命力にあふれる景色が広がっていました。紅葉の時期や雪の季節にはまた違った趣が楽しめるのだろうなと、再訪の楽しみも感じられる場所です。 鯉がゆったりと泳ぐ姿や、遠くから聞こえる鳥のさえずり、小さな橋を渡るときの足音すらも心地よく、日常から切り離されたような穏やかな時間が流れていました。観光地にありながら、騒がしさとは無縁の空間で、自然と心が整っていくような、そんな不思議な力がある池です。 「心字池」は、華やかな観光名所ではないかもしれませんが、だからこそ出会える“静かな感動”が詰まっています。目に見える美しさだけでなく、訪れた人の心にもそっと寄り添ってくれるような、そんな特別な場所でした。

(Translated by Google) The scenery of Kamiike Pond, surrounded by large camphor trees, is so beautiful that it leaves you speechless. However, according to a famous garden historian, in the courtyard between the tower gate and the main hall beyond this Shinji pond, there was a curved water fountain planted with red plums that must have expressed Michizane's taste in the past. Although it can be seen in old maps, it is regrettable that it has now been cleaned up and a stone bridge has been built over it, turning it into a culvert. Furthermore, the renga master Sogi visited this place during the Muromachi period and referred to it as ``Shinji Pond,'' and a monk from Enryakuji Temple who visited several hundred years earlier, close to the time when Kamiike was built, called it ``Shinji Pond.'' I haven't said that, so Along with other examples, ``In this way, the word Shinjiike'' does not come from the shape of the pond, but from the way Zen monks felt about the ponds in the gardens of shrines and temples, and it is a term that began to be widely used around the Edo period. "That's the right thing to do," he said harshly. According to Sogi's Chikushi Doki, in the section about Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, it says, ``A grove of ten million plum trees grew around the pond. September 2017), is it a ``plum forest''? I was surprised. If you look at the old map, you can see that there are rows of white plum trees, not strictly around the pond, but along what is now a busy approach to the shrine. Well, maybe it was just as I wrote when Sogi visited. If that happens, the impression of this garden pond will change drastically, and the fact that the sunlight filtering through the large camphor trees is beautiful today may not have been desirable to Lord Michizane and Sogi before ``Shinji Pond.'' Rather, it is Kishu that there is a camphor tree in a shrine. I can't help but think of the western countries, such as the Fujishiro Shrine in 1999 and Oyamazumi Shrine on Omishima Island in the Seto Inland Sea, and I also saw that there were wonderful camphor trees in West Lake, Hangzhou, which Sogi mentioned, and the vegetation from Konan to the western countries. I can't help but think that this is just natural. Therefore, no matter how much the garden changes, in that sense there will be nothing to stop you from sighing at this beautiful view. (Original) 楠の大樹に囲まれた神池の景色にはその美しさに声もない。とはいえ、とある高名な庭園史家によるとこの心字池の先の楼門と本殿の間の中庭に、往時は道真公の好みを表していたに違いない紅梅の植えられた曲水の遣水があり、古絵図でもそれを確認できるが、現在は整理されて石橋がかかり、暗渠となってしまったことを残念がっている。さらにこの心字池というのは室町期に連歌師の宗祇がここを訪問して「心字池」と表現しており、この神池の築造年代に近い、その数百年前に訪問した延暦寺の僧侶は心字池とは言っていないので、その他の例もあわせ「このように心字池というのは池の形から来たのではなく、社寺の園池に対する禅僧の感じ方から来ていて、江戸時代ごろから広く使用され始めた用語と見るのが正しい」と手厳しい。 宗祇の『筑紫道記』によると太宰府天満宮の項には「池の廻りには千万株の梅の林を成せり。覚えず西湖の境に来るやと覚ゆ」（文明12年[1480年] 9月)とあって、「梅の林」？とびっくり。古絵図を見ると厳密には池のまわりではなく、今は繁華な参道沿いに比定される場所に白梅の並木がある。まあ、でも宗祇が訪問したときは書いたとおりだったのかも。そうなるとこの園池の印象はがらりと変わり、現在の、楠の大樹の木漏れ日が美しいなどというのは「心字池」以前に道真公や宗祇には不本意なのかもしれないが、とはいえ杉や檜ではなく、楠が神社にあるというのは紀州の藤白神社や瀬戸内大三島の大山祇神社など西国を思わせてやまないし、そして宗祇の言っている杭州西湖にも素晴らしく立派な楠があったのを自分は見ており、江南から西国に至る植生の自然なのではと思ってやまない。なので庭園が幾らと変遷しようとも、その意味ではこの美景に嘆息するのに何も遮るものはないと思われる。

(Translated by Google) I visit the shrine about once a month! In front of the main hall, there is a pond that resembles a "heart" and the Japanese garden is beautiful! The weather has gotten better and I was able to see the "turtles" for the first time this year! I'm so happy! (Original) 月一位のペースで参拝させていただいています！本殿手前に「心」を象った池があり日本庭園が綺麗です！気候もよくなり今年始めて「カメさん」を見ることができました！なんか嬉しい‼️

(Translated by Google) Shinji Pond is a pond shaped like the character for ``heart.'' There are multiple locations in Japan. This sacred pond is shaped like the character ``heart,'' and the three divine bridges, Taikobashi and Naobashi, represent the three generations of Ichinen, past, present, and future, as described in Confucian thought. It is said that by crossing the bridge over this pond, it is said to ``purify the evil thoughts of the third generation,'' and it is considered a bridge for worshipers to purify themselves. The view of the Taikobashi Bridge over Shinji Pond is a great view point whether you are on the bridge or from the side street. (Original) 心字池とは、「心」の字をかたどった池のこと。日本国内に複数存在する この神池は「心」という字をかたどったものであり、太鼓橋と直橋の三つの神橋は、儒教思想にいう過去・現在・未来の三世一念の相を現したものである。この池の橋を渡ることによって「三世の邪念を祓う」ともいわれ、参拝者の身を清める橋とされる。 橋の上からでも、脇道からでも心字池に太鼓橋が架かる景観は絶好のビューポイントにあたる

We went there on Tuesday just to find out that this place was close on Tuesday and Wednesday. Pretty disappointed as we had paid for the 3 museum ticket pass and we liked to visit. This info was not shared with us when ticket was bought. Just a thought that it would have been nice if ticket staff could have shared this info with us before the purchase.

The Sugawara Michizane museum depicts a very poignant story in 16 lifelike miniature scenes. It starts from Michizane's early childhood, to the peak of his court career, through his downfall and exile, all the way to his death. The scenes are signed by two craftsmen. The facial features, costumes and backgrounds are expertly made. We went there twice, and thoroughly enjoyed both visits.

(Translated by Google) The exhibition room was located in the basement down the stairs, and (even though there was no door) the cool air from the air conditioner stayed in the room, which quickly made me sweat and cooled down my overheated body. There's no place to sit or stay long, but it's perfect for a cooling shelter! You can study, and the entrance fee is 200 yen. Now, regarding the exhibition contents, I think the name "History Museum" is a good match. The first half is like a Hakata doll version of the Wax Museum where you can learn about the life of Michizane Sugawara. It is a space where time has probably stood still since the museum opened. However, I can't get enough of this Showa retro feel. It's full of tsukkomi (lol) However, the dolls are made by the famous Hakata doll makers Tetsuzaburo Nishigashira and Takuma Okiayu, so the dolls alone are worth seeing. Of particular note is the life-sized statue of Sugako. A quick (super digest) way to get to know Michizane Sugawara. There are no detailed explanations, so those who want to study deeply will not be satisfied. If you view it together with the Dazaifu Tenmangu Treasure Hall, I think they will complement each other well (I did that). For foreign tourists, it might be a good idea to get both things at once (Michizane Sugawara + Hakata doll). Personally, I found the second half of the exhibit, ``Festivals at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine'', to be worth seeing. Unlike the first half, there is also a detailed explanation. I felt like there was a difference in how much effort I put into it. The shrine maiden of Tenmangu Shrine used to come and go on the ground floor, so I think it is a facility attached to Tenmangu Shrine. (Original) 展示室が階段を下りた地下にあり、（ドアが無いのに）クーラーの冷気がいい塩梅に滞留していて、たちまち汗が引き、熱をもった身体をクールダウンできました。座る場所がないし、長居する場所でもないですが、クーリングシェルターにはうってつけです！お勉強もできて、入場料200円。 さて展示内容ですが、「歴史館」という名はマッチしてないかと。前半は菅原道真公の生涯を学ぶことができる、蝋人形の館の博多人形版というイメージかな。おそらく開館当初から時が止まっている空間です。でも、この昭和レトロ感もたまりません。ツッコミどころ満載ですし（笑） でも、西頭哲三郎氏・置鮎琢磨氏という、名だたる博多人形師の作なので、人形だけでもそれはそれは見応えあります。特筆すべきは、等身大の菅公像です。 サラッと（超ダイジェスト的に）菅原道真公を知るには◎。詳しい説明がないので、深く勉強したいという方は物足りないでしょう。『太宰府天満宮宝物殿』と一緒にご覧になると、互いに補完し合って良いと思います（私はそうしました。）。 外国人観光客の方には、手軽に一挙両得（菅原道真公＋博多人形）で良いかもしれません。 展示物の後半の「太宰府天満宮の祭礼」が個人的には見応えありました。前半と打って変わって、詳しい説明もあります。何だか力の入れようが違うように思いました。 地上階は天満宮の巫女さんが出入りしてたので、天満宮付属の施設なのだとおもいます。

(Translated by Google) A museum located in Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. You can see the life of the enshrined deity, Sugawara no Michizane, in a diorama made of Hakata dolls. You can learn about the little-known facts about Michizane, such as his talent for both literature and martial arts and his negotiations with foreign countries, and all the dolls are well made and fun to look at. In particular, the recreation of the Heian period's Kyokusui no Utage, which was also depicted in the historical drama "Hikaru Kimi e", is a must-see. In addition to the Hakata dolls, dolls of Tenjin-sama from all over the country are also on display. (Original) 太宰府天満宮にある博物館。 御祭神菅原道真公の生涯を博多人形によるジオラマで見ることが出来ます。文武両道であったり外国と交渉をしたりするなどあまり知られていない道真公の事が学べますしどの人形も良く出来ていて見て楽しむこともできます。特に大河ドラマ「光る君へ」でも描かれていた平安時代の曲水の宴を再現したものは必見。博多人形以外にも全国各地の天神様の人形が展示されていました。

(Translated by Google) [July 20, 2025☀️] This is easy to understand! Perfect for people like me who don't know much about Sugawara no Michizane😃 You can really get a sense of Sugawara no Michizane and the flow of his life. After this, we went to the Treasure Hall. Maybe because it's a little further back, there were fewer people there than at the Treasure Hall. Maybe they didn't notice... I'm glad I went! (Original) 【2025年7月20日☀️】 これはわかりやすい！ 自分のような詳しくない人には ぴったりです😃 よーく菅公の事、人生の流れがつかめます。 この後、宝物殿に行きました。 場所が…ちょっと奥にあるためか、 宝物殿と比べると人が少なかった。 気づいてないのかな… 行って良かったです！

An absolutely wonderful hidden gem of an Inari shrine. If you appreciate peace, nature, and the Inari and want something with next to no tourists to appreciate this is a lovely spot.

(Translated by Google) Ishiana Inari Shrine in Dazaifu City is It's a mysterious place in nature. It is said to be one of the three major Inari shrines in Kyushu, and the shrine is dedicated to Ukanomitama no Okami, the god who governs clothing, food, and shelter. It has a mystical atmosphere amidst nature, and is characterized by megalithic groups and stone stairs. I was able to spend some quiet time at this Inari statue and soothe my soul. I am grateful that I was able to visit this place. thank you!

(Translated by Google) I felt a chill when I walked about 1m through the first and second torii gates on the road side, and although I don't have any special powers, I hope that this has a good effect. There are so many red torii gates that I was blown away. I'm still a beginner when it comes to visiting shrines, so I was a little moved✨️. The shrine office on the left was not open, and two types of goshuin stamps were 500 yen each and would be mailed to you later. The shipping fee was a small donation. There was a sign posted, so I've included a picture. There was a sign instructing you to change into sandals to go to the top of the main hall, so I refrained from taking photos beyond this point. There are statues of Inari on both sides of the stairs, but I got chills when I looked to the right, and the Inari on the left was also missing one ear. The one on the right was missing both ears and a mouth, and its face looked like a goo... It may have been chipped over the years, but I hoped that the people who came to pray would not be rude, so I climbed up. When you go around shrines, you often see a pair of large trees, but here there was only one large tree, which was impressive. As I came down the stairs, I saw couples giggling and taking photos, but I wish they had come with a more solemn feeling. I started going around the shrines at the end of last year and never thought anything of it until now, so I guess this time was irregular. A tradition with an Inari statue? Passing on what has been passed down to the next people/generation and going with a solemn feeling...it was a good opportunity to think. (Original) 一番道側の大きな鳥居くぐり、2番目の鳥居をくぐり1mくらい歩くとゾゾッと肌寒い感じで、私は何の能力も無いけど、こういうのが良い効果だと良いなあと思いたいです。 赤い鳥居も、わ〜っと思うくらい有ります。まだ神社巡り初心者なのでちょっと感動✨️。 左の社務所は不在で、御朱印2種は各500円で後日郵送。送料は寸志。張り紙有ったので画像載せておきます。 本殿上に行くには、草履への履き替え有る指示の張り紙有るので、この先は撮影控えました。 階段途中に左右に稲荷？像が有るのですが、右見てゾクッとし左の稲荷も片耳が失くなってました。右は両耳に口が失くて顔がグーみたいだったんです…。 長い年月から欠けたのかもしれないけど、お参り来た人達がマナー悪くでないと良いなあと思い上に登りました。 神社回るとよく対で大きな木が有るけど、こちらでは大きな木が一本で印象的でした。 階段降りて来るとカップルがキャッキャッ言って写真撮ったりしてましたが、もっと厳か気持ちで来て欲しいかなと思いました。去年末から回り始めて今まで何も思わなかったので、今回はイレギュラーだったんだと思います。 稲荷像で伝統？引き継いだ物を次の人達·世代へ引き継ぐ事と厳かな気持ちで行く事…良い考える機会となりました。

It's a very comfortable shrine that makes you want to stay here for a long time.You walk between the huge stones to get to the inner shrine, but it's not very far so it's easy to get to. The stairs leading to the inner shrine are on the right side of the main shrine, and there is a shoe box on the left just after passing through the torii gate, so change your shoes before climbing up. It is recommended as a pleasant place with green trees and a pleasant atmosphere. I asked the person concerned for the goshuin, but they said it would take 3-4 months. I was asked to wait patiently. It seems that they will send it to me.

(Translated by Google) Behind the three shrines was a sacred space with a mysterious atmosphere, as if Princess Mononoke might appear. As I was praying, a woman who appeared cleaning with what appeared to be the chief priest was there and kindly showed me around. The older woman told me that this place has likely existed as a place of prayer much earlier than Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine was established. I decided to pray here because someone who lives near Kamado Shrine told me that they have long lived near Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine and that Ishiana Inari has long been frequented by Hakata merchants and is one of Fukuoka's three major Inari shrines. I sometimes wondered if the shrine originally functioned to protect this place. It was difficult to know how to direct my prayers; it was like there were multiple layers, a complex mix of the original types of prayers and the ones that had been there until now, and it felt like a difficult place to pray to. I would like to hear your thoughts if anyone has had the opportunity to pray here. It was a place that made me want to connect with the prayers of people of ancient times, if possible. (Original) 三つの社の奥に、もののけ姫が出てきそうな不思議な雰囲気を放つ場所がある神聖さを感じる空間がありました。 参拝する時に丁度宮司のような方とともに清掃をされていた女性方がいらっしゃって、丁寧に案内してくださいました。年長の女性の方からここは太宰府天満宮ができるよりももっとずっと古くから祈りを向ける場所として存在していたであろう事を教えてくださいました。 ここを参拝するきっかけは竈門神社側に住む方から、昔から太宰府天満宮の辺りに住んでらして石穴稲荷が博多の商人がずっと以前から足繁く通っていたことや福岡三大稲荷の一つだと教えてくれたからです。 本来的には、もしかしたらこの場所を守るために機能した神社だったのではと思う面がありました。 祈りの振り向け方が難しく、レイヤーの層というか元々の祈りの種類と今までのものが複雑で、祈るとまだらな感覚がして難しい場所だと感じました。 この場所の祈りに合った方がいらっしゃったら感想を聞いてみたい。 できれば、古の人の祈りと繋がってみたいと思わせてくれる場所でした。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way back from Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine 😊 There is a large private parking lot near Chikushi Jogakuin. Once inside, it's a different world. In terms of atmosphere, it's in the top 5 of the shrines I've visited so far. An overwhelming worldview. Before going to the inner shrine, you need to change your footwear. I felt like I was freed from a possession😊 I will definitely come again.

You can sign up for the queue of dining in at the front yourself. You can choose to sit the tables or tatami. Staff could not understand any spoken English, but they still tried to be friendly under a lot of stress. God knows why they were so stressed and busy. My wife's pork cutlet rice was ok. The onion was well cooked so that she could taste the sweetness. She hates onion in her whole life before. However, the portion of pork was below average. I ordered a bowl of sashimi which was just normal quality. Lucky that I did not see that rude owner.

Nice traditional Japanese restaurant, has a small design court and traditional tatami corner as well. The food is tasty, portions are good. Downside is, that employees are stressed, the manager is extremely rude. I have never seen this behaviour in a restaurant in Japan before.

Restaurant with familiar Japanese meal sets that's a lot bigger inside than it appears from the street, so social distancing was easier than expected. It was a hot day, so I countered with cold soba. Firm noodles, tasty dipping sauce, and crispy tempura on the side. Really refreshing and a good portion.

Simple place to enjoy Udon or Soda. The cold Soda is very chewy and tasty, great for summer days.

Tried the rice red bean cake from 2 diff shops and found this one …Not too sweet and full of rice fragrance

Nice restaurant. Good taste and have nice garden in restuarant area

Had two lunch sets here after visiting the parks. Taste okay. Couple of seniors running the diner can only communicate in Japanese. Speed okay, 3500 yen cash only. 80s decorations if you like that

Really good braised red snapper head and sashimi very fresh and big portions. Staff very courteous. Has english menu.

so so. kust like the other sushi shop. it looks premium but the price is ok. specially for the lunch set. the sushi alacarte price is for 1 piece. staff are nice. it locate very near the dazaifu temple so it you dont have a choice for lunch. go for it

Very nice and kind chefs, one of the non touristy restaurant in this small town of Daizufu with option to sit at the counter, table or private room. The fish was fresh and reasonable pricing.

Was craving for some sushi and settled on this place. Price is very reasonable for the quality of food. I had the kaede kaiseki and I was stuffed after the meal. Definitely worth the price.

I think this restaurant is very good.The sevice was super great!The staff were nice and polite to me and I was hacing a lunch in there.I order some sushimi bc I am a bit full and I just wanr to eat sushimi:). After a while,my sushi came and I tried it and it wss really yummy and fresh!!!! There is no photo bc I was way to hungry to picture;) PS:I add a photo

Went by accident as original looking for info opposite closed on the day. Very Japanese restaurant and reasonable Fukuoka price, has set lunch

A little bit expensive but delicious. Nigiri's were quite nice. The atmosphere makes it a very relaxing place. Worth trying if you visit Dazaifu area.

We were extremely disappointed with our dinner experience at this restaurant during our day trip to Dazaifu. As non-Japanese speakers and non-white foreigners, we were made to feel noticeably out of place and unwelcome throughout our dinner. Despite what earlier reviews suggested, there was NO English menu available, and the staff did not bother to help much with recommending or guiding us on what to order. In fact, we saw the boss/owner/head chef tell his subordinate/staff to receive and serve the other local Japanese guests first and leave us (unattended and helpless). So what really stood out was the stark difference in treatment between us and the local Japanese diners. While they were warmly welcomed and provided with the full dining setup—we were not offered the same, which made us feel awkward and out of place. It was hard not to feel like we were being subtly sidelined simply because we were non-Japanese and couldn’t speak the language (and probably also since we were not Caucasians). While the sashimi itself was fresh, the overall experience left a sour note. This restaurant experience was a serious and huge letdown, a heavy dampener to our otherwise pleasant day excursion in Dazaifu. The cold, rude and indifferent service overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable day trip. We understand that language barriers can create challenges for tourists from overseas, but a bit of warmth and effort to make all guests feel welcome would go a long way. We hope the restaurant considers this for the future.

Very affordable and delicious lunch sets. Most of the people will take the Kaisendon but the fried fish set is equally good. The staffs are familiar with foreigners and they do have menu in foreign languages. Please note that the restaurant will stop serving at 1330H for lunch even though they close at 1400H.

This restaurant does not really welcome foreigners and that’s very unfortunate as it made our Dazaifu day trip end on a poor, depressed note. We were obviously not welcomed as we can’t speak Japanese. There was no English menu available (unlike what the reviews from a year ago said) and we were not given the usual small plates and sauce plates unlike how the other Japanese patrons in the restaurant were provided. We saw to our shock and utter disbelief how the other Japanese (local) patrons were heartily, warmly received and politely treated from start to end, in apparent stark contrast to how we (non-Japanese speaking) were sidelined and ignored during our visit and dining in the restaurant. We were made to feel lousy and second class during our dining there. Although the sashimi was fresh, the bad experience of being poorly/coolly treated as foreign patrons resulted in indigestion for us after we left the restaurant. We paid the full fare including customer service but in truth there was no service for us except rude & cool/cold reception.

Friendly staff and great food. The sashimi is superb and very satisfied with the entire experience

The best kaisendon ever. My parents loved the lunch set and kept saying the kaisendon and fried fish were the best dishes during our visit in Fukuoka

Uncle randomly joined the queue at this restaurant and got a pleasant surprise. Super fresh and delicious kaisendon at only around 1200yen?! Sign me up anytime. Uncle not a fish connoisseur so don't exactly know what fishes were used to make this but there was one fish that had mind blowing taste and texture. Do try if you're visitng dazaifu!

Really good food and friendly staff

(Translated by Google) I've always looked down on this huge historical site in ancient northern Kyushu from an airplane or passed by it on the highway, so I'd always wanted to visit it. The museum is hidden under a bank and is difficult to see from the street. The exhibits consist of videos and panel displays. I thought the receptionist might be able to tell me more about it, but unfortunately there was no one there who knew anything about it. I appreciated the explanation of the historical background and civil engineering technology, but I would have liked to have learned more in-depth. (Original) いつも飛行機から見下ろしたり、高速道路で通過してしまうので、いつかは足を運んでみたかった古代北部九州の巨大史跡。 資料館は堤の下に隠れていて、通りからは一見わかりづらいです。 展示内容は動画とパネル展示。 受付の方なら詳しい話を聞けるかな？と思いきや、残念ながら詳しい方は不在のでした。 時代背景や土木技術の解説はありがたいが、さらに掘り下げた内容を知りたかった。

(Translated by Google) After seeing the "wooden gutter" exhibit at the Nakokunooka Historical Museum, I decided I wanted to dig deeper, so I visited Mizukikan. The more I learn, the more fascinating it becomes: the way this water castle was built, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. According to a handout, it was estimated that it would have taken 3,500 people, working 11 hours a day, to complete in 319 days. It's incredible that such a massive castle wall (earthwork)—1.2 km long, 9 m high, and 80 m wide at the base (25 m at the top)—could have been built in that time. The wooden gutter was used to channel water from the inner moat to the outer moat, passing under the earthwork. I was amazed that such a structure even existed in the mid-7th century. The panels and videos inside the museum are easy to understand, and the handouts are comprehensive and well worth reading. When I actually climbed up to the observation deck atop Mizukikan, I was awed by its sheer scale. I almost gasped in amazement at how much they'd managed to build. It only takes a few minutes to climb to the observation deck, so be sure to take in the magnificent straight line of the water castle ruins that continues toward the west gate (although it's interrupted by a highway along the way). The defeat at the Battle of Baekgang is the background to the establishment of this water castle, Dazaifu government office, Ono Castle, and Kii Castle. The numerous defensive structures built in a short period of time against threats from abroad convey the tension of the time. Following the Tsukushi-no-Kimi Iwai Rebellion in the first half of the 6th century, the Natsunomiyake (Nanotsunomiyake), the imperial court's base in northern Kyushu, was relocated to Dazaifu, and the Dazaifu government office was renovated...The water castle appears to have been one of the major national projects that came about at this major turning point. While few records remain from the time of its construction, the many mysteries surrounding it make this relic an exciting prospect for further investigation. In subsequent periods, Tsukushi-no-Murotsumi (later known as Korokan) developed as a hub for diplomacy and trade. Mizuki's west gate apparently led to the Korokan, while its east gate led to an official road leading to Hakata Port. I imagine the west gate route was a detour to allow direct access to the Dazaifu government office, while the east gate route was a shortcut that prioritized domestic travel. As an aside, two waka poems from the Manyoshu (poem numbers 965 and 968) are engraved on the stone monument in front of Mizukikan. Wandering Woman Kojima: "If I were an ordinary person, I might be afraid to shake off my painful sleeves." (965) Dazai no Souchi Otomo no Tabito: "Thinking of a trout, I will wipe away my tears on the water-filled Mizuki." (968) I was curious, so I looked it up and found that poems 966 and 967 were also by these two poets. Kojima: "The clouds hide the Yamato Road, Yet do not think my waving sleeves rude." (966) Otomo no Tabito: "If I pass through Kojima in Kibi on the Yamato Road, I may think of Kojima in Tsukushi." (967) I imagined this poem as a typical farewell song between a man and a woman, but when I learned the background, it was completely different. Otomo no Tabito was over 60 years old and took up his post in Dazaifu with his wife. He lost his wife while there. By the time he returned to Kyoto, following the Nagaya no O Incident, many high-ranking officials had died one after another, making him the highest-ranking vassal. I can somehow sense Otomo no Tabito's good character as he composed a farewell song for a young girl he had become close to. My only impressions of him were that he was "the father of Ieyasu" and "a sake lover," so I found it fascinating to research. The official website directs you to Plazas 1 and 2 for this parking lot, and if you search for "Mizuki Castle Ruins Parking Lot" on Google Maps, it will come up. The same map also lists a location as "Mizukikan Private Parking Lot," but it's best to check whether it's available. (Original) 奴国の丘歴史資料館で「木樋（もくひ）」の展示を見て、深掘りしたくなって水城館を訪れました。知れば知るほど面白いのは、この水城が忽然と姿を現すように築かれていることです。配布資料によると、1日あたり3500人が11時間働いて、319日で完成するという試算がありました。全長1.2km、高さ9m、底部の幅80m（上部25m）の巨大な城壁（土塁）をその期間で築いたというのは驚異的です。なお、木樋は、土塁の下を通って内堀から外堀へ水を送るためのもので、7世紀半ばにそのような構造があったこと自体にも驚かされました。館内のパネルや映像は分かりやすく、配布資料も充実していて、読みごたえがあります。 実際に水城館の上の展望台まで登ってみると、そのスケールに圧倒されます。よくここまで積み上げたなと、思わず声が漏れそうになります。展望台までは数分で登れるので、ぜひ西門方面に続く（途中、高速道路で途切れていますが）水城跡の壮大な直線を眺めてみてください。 この水城や大宰府政庁、大野城・基肄城などの成立背景には、白村江の戦いでの敗戦があります。国外からの脅威に対して、短期間で築かれた防衛施設の数々から、当時の緊張感が伝わってきそうです。6世紀前半の「筑紫君磐井の乱」以降、朝廷の北部九州の拠点だった那津官家（なのつのみやけ）を太宰府へ移し、大宰府政庁を整備していく...その大きな転機に訪れた国家的な大プロジェクトの一つがこの水城だったようです。建設当時の記録は多く残っていませんが、まだ眠る謎が多い分、今後の調査が楽しみな遺構です。 その後の時代には、外交と交易の拠点として筑紫館（つくしのむろつみ／後の鴻臚館）が発展していきます。水城の西門は鴻臚館へ、東門は博多の港へ続く官道に繋がっていたそうで、西門ルートは大宰府政庁に真正面から入らせるために遠回りで、東門ルートは国内移動の利便性を重視した近道だったのかなと想像しています。 余談ですが、水城館の前にある歌碑には、万葉集におさめられている和歌2首（歌番号965,968）が刻まれています。 遊行女婦 児島「凡ならば かもかもせむを 恐みと 振りいたき袖を 忍びてあるかも」（965） 大宰帥 大伴旅人「ますらをと 思へるわれや水くきの 水城のうえに なみだ拭はむ」（968） 気になったので調べてみると、歌番号966,967もこの二人の歌でした。 児島「大和道は 雲隠りたり 然れども あが振る袖を 無礼と思ふな」（966） 大伴旅人「大和道の 吉備の児島を 過ぎて行かば 筑紫の児島 思ほえむかも」（967） よくある男女の別離の歌をイメージしましたが、背景を知ると全く違うものでした。大伴旅人は60歳を超え、妻を連れて大宰府に赴任。そして赴任中に妻を亡くしています。帰京する当時は、長屋王の変のあとで、高官も相次いで亡くなり、臣下として最上位の身分になっていました。そんな身分の高いお爺ちゃんが、親しくなった若い娘へ別離の歌を詠んだことを想像すると、何となく大伴旅人の人柄の良さを感じられます。「家持の父」「酒好き」という印象しかなかったので、調べながら面白いなと思いました。 こちらの駐車場については、公式サイトでは第1・第2広場が案内されており、Googleマップでは「水城跡駐車場」と検索すれば表示されます。同マップに「水城館専用駐車場」と登録された場所もありますが、利用可能かは確認した方が良さそうです。

(Translated by Google) I had been curious about this place for a while while riding my road bike, so I stopped by. I went inside and read various pamphlets while feeling cool and soothing. A member of the museum introduced a video (approximately 5 minutes) that ``understands the history of Dazaifu, Mizuki, etc.''. It was a very clear and detailed video. It was good to see you. I received some pamphlets and headed home. I am grateful that I was able to visit this place. thank you! →Please come and visit us! (Original) ロードバイクで走ってるときに、以前から気になっていたので、立ち寄りました。 中に入ってひんやりに癒されながら、色々なパンフレットなどを読ませていただきました。 館内の方から、「太宰府や水城等の歴史がわかる」ビデオ（約5分）を紹介させて見せていただきました。 とても分かりやすい丁寧な映像でした。見れて良かったです。 いくつかのパンフレットをいただいて、帰りました。 この場所に訪問できたことに感謝してます。ありがとうございます！ →是非訪問してみてください！

(Translated by Google) You can watch a free video that explains the history of the Mizuki area in Dazaifu. The air conditioner works well and it's comfortable to watch about 5 minutes of footage. There is also a toilet inside. You can reach the observation deck in about 2 minutes on foot. (Original) 太宰府の水城周辺の歴史がわかるビデオが無料で見れます。 クーラーも効いてて5分くらいの映像で快適。 トイレも中にあります。 展望台には歩いて2分くらいで着きます。

(Translated by Google) Honestly, if you're coming from Fukuoka City, you'll probably walk right past it, but it's a facility with an interesting shape. Unlike the exterior and surroundings, the exhibits inside are beautifully organized and easy to read, and you can also enjoy the explanations from the friendly guides. In addition, there are many seasonal plants near this facility, so it is recommended that you casually stop by and enjoy the scenery. (Original) 福岡市の方から来ると正直通り過ぎそうになりますが、面白い形をした施設です。 外観や周囲の様子とは異なり、中の展示は美しくまとめられていて読みやすく、気さくなガイドの方からの説明を楽しむこともできます。 また、この施設近隣には季節ごとの植物が多く、何気なく寄って景色を楽しんでみるのもおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) ☆The existing castle wall for national defense from about 1,360 years ago is a “Nationally Designated Special Historic Site” An earthwork with a total length of 1.2 km built in the 3rd year of Emperor Tenji (664) in a narrow part of the Fukuoka Plain.It is actually large when you see it.The base is about 80 m x about 9 m in height, and in the past it was wide on the Hakata Bay side. There was an outer moat of about 60m x about 4m deep, which was an amazing amount of civil engineering work! ️ Although some parts are missing, the earthworks remained for 1360 years, and we were able to climb up to the top of them from the nature trail along the Mizuki ruins. You can really feel the height 😲 At the time of my visit, an excavation survey was underway, so it felt like I was actually able to see the surface of Mizuki's rammed earth 🤔 100 Famous Castles of Japan & 100 Famous Castles of Japan [No.182] (Original) ☆約1360年前の現存する国土防衛用の城壁「国指定特別史跡」 天智天皇3年(664年)、福岡平野の狭小部に築かれた総延長1.2㎞の土塁、実際に目の当たりにすると大きい、基底部約80m×高さ約9m、昔は博多湾側に幅約60m×深さ約4mの外濠があったとは凄い土木作業‼️ 一部欠落するも良く1360年も残った土塁、水城跡沿いの自然歩道から土塁の上にも上がれました高さ実感😲 訪問時には発掘調査中でした、何となく水城の版築の表面が実際に見れたような🤔 日本100名城&続日本100名城【No.182】

(Translated by Google) Mizuki Castle has been designated a National Special Historic Site and is included in the list of Japan's 100 Greatest Castles. However, Mizuki Castle is more of an earthen rampart than a castle. It stretches 1.2 km in length, is 77 meters wide, and is 9 meters high. Though now lost, it's said that there was once a 40-meter-wide moat inside and outside the ramparts. Though now separated by roads and other obstacles, a significant portion of the water castle remains. While modest, it's surprising that a 7th-century national project like this has survived 1,300 years on such a plain. Following its defeat by the allied forces of Tang and Silla in the Battle of Baekgang, the Yamato court, fearing an invasion of mainland Japan by continental powers, constructed various defensive structures throughout Kyushu, Chugoku, Shikoku, and the Kinai region. Remnants of these structures still remain scattered throughout the area. Northern Kyushu, in particular, was built due to its proximity to the Korean Peninsula, leading to the construction of Mizuki Castle, nearby Ono Castle, and Kii Castle, located a little further south. Mizuki and Ono Castle were likely built for the purpose of defending the nearby Dazaifu government office, which was the center of Kyushu at the time. If an enemy were to land in northern Kyushu, they would likely have advanced south across the unobstructed Fukuoka Plain, so Mizuki and Ono Castle were likely built in this position to somehow stop them. It's a bit of a stretch to go out of your way to see Mizuki alone, so we recommend visiting both castles together with Ono Castle. (Original) 水城は国の特別史跡に指定されており、続日本百名城に認定されている。 とはいえ水城は城というよりも土の防塁（土塁）である。規模は全長1.2kmに及び幅77m？高さ9mの規模を持つ。今は失われているが、かつてはこの防塁の内外に幅40m程度の堀まであったという。 現在も道路などで分断されてはいるが、この水城の遺構がかなりの規模で残されている。正直地味ではあるが、7世紀の国家事業であり、平野部で1300年が経過してもしっかり残っているのは驚きである。 白村江の戦いで唐・新羅連合軍に敗れた大和朝廷は大陸勢力の日本本土への侵攻を恐れ九州〜中四国、畿内各地に各種防衛施設を建造した。今も点々と当時の遺構が残されている。 特に北部九州は朝鮮半島に近いこともありこの水城や至近の大野城、少し南にある基肄城などが建造された。 水城、大野城は至近の位置にある当時の九州の中心太宰府政庁防衛の目的で造られたものであろう。敵が北部九州に上陸した場合、遮るもののない福岡平野を南下してくるはずであり、なんとかこの位置で食い止めるべく建造されたのだろう。 水城単独でわざわざ見学に来るのはちょっと微妙なので大野城とセットでの見学をおすすめする。

(Translated by Google) After being defeated in the Battle of Baekgang, Wakoku built this castle as a frontline base to defend against an invasion by the combined forces of Silla and Tang. It resembles a large ancient tomb and is located on a small hill. I climbed it on August 26, 2025. You can go deeper into the hill beyond the boar-proof fence, but the path is not well maintained, so proper trekking shoes are recommended. I got lost on the way back, but I checked my location on Google Maps and was able to correct my direction. Even though it's a small castle on a hill, be careful not to overlook it or you'll get lost. I didn't encounter any boars.

When I got closer, there were quite a lot of leaf cherry blossoms, but from a distance, they looked like they were in full bloom. The yellow flowers were almost finished, but when both are in full bloom, it looks like it will be a spectacular sight.

(Translated by Google) (2023.10.4) No.182 of the 100 Famous Castles, the seal is set in many places. I got it at the Water Castle Museum. The seal composition is the monument of the Water Castle Dam next to the Water Castle Museum. Although it is called a castle, it is actually a long earthen wall defense line. I only passed by and looked at it from a distance when I was walking, and did not actually walk along the earthen wall. It is recommended to visit the Water Castle Museum, which contains a detailed description of the water castle and a short video. The stay time is not long, but it can make this water castle trip have more historical imagination and feelings. Then go to the observation deck and look a little further away. Although the earthen wall itself seems to be a little weak, if combined with the relevant history of Dazaifu and the thinking of other nearby castle ruins, the concept of the water castle becomes interesting. The siege method is simple, so I arranged a hike directly. From the Water Castle Station as the starting point to the Water Castle Museum, the whole siege trip takes about 80 minutes. When I came, the sun was very strong, and there was no shade along the way, so be careful of exposure.

Nice place but be careful, there is information about the existance of snake in this place.

(Translated by Google) The grounds are very spacious and it's a nice park, but the toilets are old and children are scared to go in, so they end up going back home... The running course, which allows you to go around the park once, is nice, but when you go onto the footpaths, there are poorly maintained stairs and paths that look like animal trails, so it's a shame that in some places children can't pass safely. First of all, I would like the toilets to be renovated. (Original) グラウンドはすごく広いしいい公園なんですがトイレが古くて子どもが怖がって入りたがらず家まで戻る始末で。。 あと一周出来るランニングコースはいいのですが、小道に入ると整備が行き届いてない階段とか獣道みたいになってる道もあって子どもたちが安全に通れない所もあるのが残念です。まずは、トイレを一新して頂きたいです。

(Translated by Google) The park has a circumference of approximately 1km. There are baseball fields and tennis courts. There is a path surrounding the pond, where you can enjoy running or walking. However, there is a part in the middle of the pond that is not paved, making it a little difficult to walk on. Kasuga Park is maintained almost every day, but compared to that, the maintenance is poor and the grass is overgrown, with grass sometimes even coming out onto the road. The parking lot is a little small compared to the size of the park, but I've never seen it so crowded. The parking lot is located in the residential area, not on the main street. (Original) 一周が約1キロほどの公園です。野球グラウンドやテニスコートなどがあります。池を囲むように道があり、ランニングや散歩を楽しむことができます。ただ、池の途中に舗装されていない部分があり、少し走りにくいです。春日公園はほぼ毎日手入れをしていますが、それに比べて整備が甘く草が生い茂り、道にまで草が出てきている時もあります。公園の規模に対して少し駐車場は狭いですが、あまり満車になるほど人がいるのを見たことはありません。駐車場は大通り側ではなく住宅地の方に入ったところにあります。

(Translated by Google) You can travel through the four seasons while taking a walk 😉 Feel the changing seasons as you walk along the paved path that is gentle on your feet with slight ups and downs, and you'll be able to walk around three laps before you know it😁 This is a popular park in Dazaifu, the village of Reiwa. I also like the fluffy feel of the grassy area. One disappointing thing is that there aren't many lights and there aren't many people, so it's dangerous after dusk, so you can't go there alone as a woman. (Original) 散歩しながら、四季の旅が出来ます😉 季節の移ろいを感じながら、少しだけアップダウンのある、足に優しい舗装の道を歩くと、いつの間にか三周は行けます😁 令和の里太宰府にある赴きのある公園です。 芝生の広場のふかふかした感触も気に入っています。 一つ残念なことは、電灯が少ないのと人が少ないので、夕方以降は危なくて、女性１人では行けないことですね😢

(Translated by Google) In addition to facilities such as tennis courts, grounds, and an archery field, Dazaifu Historical Sports Park also has walking and jogging courses, an observatory, and especially stone monuments with Manyoshu written all over the place, so you can look for your favorite poems while taking a walk. I think it's fun! The parking lot is spacious and free, so commercial vehicles often use it during breaks. The observation deck used to have a good view, but now the trees have grown and the view is getting worse. It has become a place of relaxation for the citizens of Dazaifu. Please use it to improve your health! Most of the people are elderly.

(Translated by Google) Kokubunji, Kokubunniji, and Chikuzen Kokubunji, which were built all over the country during the Tenpyo period, were built on this land, northwest of the Dazaifu Government Office.Nowadays, a seven-storied pagoda, which does not exist in Japan, has been built, and it can be seen from far away. It seems like I could have hoped for it It was abolished by the Edo period, and the current Kokubunji temple was later rebuilt on a smaller scale. You can recall the past at the excavated and restored large tower platform.

(Translated by Google) School ruins According to the website of Dazaifu City, Gakuin is an institution that trains officials of the western country. This area, which is located on the east side of the Dazaifu Government Office, is thought to have once had a school, as the lower-case name is ``gakugo.'' At the academy, with a doctor as an instructor, I learned the necessary things for a government official, such as politics, medicine, arithmetic, and writing, using books such as the "Five Classics" and "Three Historys" of China as textbooks. In the ancient educational system, a provincial doctor was usually assigned to each country (roughly equivalent to the current prefecture), but the six provinces of Chikuzen, Chikugo, Buzen, Bungo, Hizen, and Higo did not have doctorates, and students were assigned to Dazaifu. studied. Students are hired as government officials if they pass the examination after completing the required subjects within a given year. There is a record that about 200 students gathered in Dazaifu in the first year of Tennou (781), and we can know that Dazaifu also functioned as a center of learning. (Original) 学校院跡 太宰府市のWebによると、 学校院は、西国の役人を養成する機関である。 大宰府政庁の東側にあるこの地区は、 小字名を「学業」ということから、学校院があったと考えられている。 学校院では、博士を教官として、中国の「五経」「三史」等の書物を教科書に、 政治・医術・算術・文章など、役人として必要なことを学んだ。 古代の教育システムでは、通常は国(ほぼ現在の県にあたる)ごとに国博士がおかれるが、 筑前・筑後・豊前・豊後・肥前・肥後の六国には博士はおかれず、学生は大宰府で修学した。 学生は、所定年内に必要な科目を修得した後に、試験に合格すれば役人として採用される。 天応元年(781)には約200人の学生が大宰府に集まったとの記録があり、 大宰府が学問の中心地としても機能していたことを知ることができる、との事。

(Translated by Google) Udon that doesn't look like Fukuoka The soup is darkened with soy sauce, which sets it apart from Fukuoka's typical udon, but the taste is ◎ with a dark soup stock and strong umami. Also, Niku Niku Udon has ginger added to the basic udon to warm your body. During the summer, you may find yourself drenched in sweat as you arrange the chili peppers on the table. Your body often feels light after eating, so you may find it has a detox effect similar to that of a sauna. There is also soba noodles. You can also order udon noodles as substitutes. (Original) 福岡らしくないうどん 醤油で黒くなったスープで福岡らしいうどんとは一線を画しますが、味は◎濃い目の出汁で旨味も強いです。 また、肉肉うどんにはベーシックなうどんにもしょうがが盛ってあり、体が温まります。 夏場に及んではテーブルの上の唐辛子を盛り付けることによって、全身汗だくになる体験があります。 喫食後は体が軽快になることが多いので、サウナ並みのデトックス効果にありつけるかもしれません。 そばもあります。うどんの替え玉で注文することも可。

(Translated by Google) The noodles were thick, the soup had a strong flavor, the meat was just the right amount of softness, and the ginger went well with it. It seems that you can increase or decrease the amount of ginger, and it says that a little more is recommended. (Original) 麺は太めで、スープは濃い味、肉はちょうど良い柔らかさ、ポイントとなる生姜との相性は良く美味しかった。 生姜の量は増減出来るみたいで、オススメは多め、との記載ありました。

(Translated by Google) Meat udon that I've always wanted to eat. I finally got it. It was delicious for the time being. It seems to be a feature to add ginger, but I was wondering what it was, but it was more delicious than I imagined. It was very fresh because it has a taste that I have never encountered in the Kanto region. It seems that it will be accepted nationwide from the fluffy Fukuoka udon that is commonly called. Anyway, it was so delicious that I would like to try meat udon again if I have a chance. (Original) 前から食べてみたかった肉肉うどん。遂に頂きました。 取り敢えず美味しかった。 生姜を入れるのが特色みたいですが、どんなもんかと思ってましたが想像以上に美味しかったです。 関東などでは出会うことの無い味なのでとても新鮮でした。 俗に言うふわふわした福岡のうどんより全国的に受け入れられそうですね。 何にせよ凄く美味しかったので、また機会があれば肉肉うどんを食べてみたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I visited with my companion for lunch on a holiday. Being from Tokyo, this is a restaurant that I would like to visit at least once a month. The soup stock is strong and seasoned with dark soy sauce. It contains ginger, and you can choose the right amount. Today I had soba noodles instead of udon noodles. The soba is as soft as udon, so it would have been more delicious if it were a little crunchier, but I felt happy just being able to eat it with the Kanto-style soup stock. Recommended for those who want to eat Kanto-style udon and soba. (Original) 休日のランチで連れと訪問しました。 東京出身の自分には月に一度は訪れたいお店です。 出汁もしっかりでていて濃口醤油での味付けになります。 生姜が入っていて、量は適度に選べます。 今日はうどんからの替玉を蕎麦にしていただきました。 蕎麦はうどん並みに柔らかいので、もう少しシャキッとしていると、もっと美味しいですが、関東風の出汁で食べられるだけで幸せを感じました。 関東風のうどんや蕎麦を食べたい方にお勧めいたします。

(Translated by Google) First time, meat udon. I ordered the standard one and the karaage set. It was my first time eating goboten, and it was neither good nor bad. The udon was okay. Personally, I felt that karaage was more delicious than udon. There are stores in various places, so I would like to go there again if I have a chance. (Original) 初、肉肉うどん。定番のやつとからあげセットを注文。ごぼ天初めて食べましたが、可もなく不可もなく。うどんはまぁまぁでした。個人的には、うどんよりもからあげのが美味しいと感じました。 いろんなとこに店舗あるので、機会があったらまたいってみたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I think it's best to use mega ginger because the soup has a strong flavor. Chili peppers are unusual for Japan, so they pack a punch, so it's best not to make them look cool. (Additional) 20191213 Changed from 4 to 2 stars because of poor customer service. 1. Customers who ordered later were given first. 2. I ordered a set of udon and tempura bowl, but it took too long for the tempura bowl to come out after I finished eating the udon noodles. It's supposed to be at the same time. Even though it's a bad tempura bowl. 3. Tsure asked for meat burdock tempura, but after finishing the udon, he brought it to me, saying that there was no burdock tempura in it and that he would bring it right away. When I told her that I had already eaten, she said that she was half asleep and said that she had a replacement. The meat udon itself was delicious, so I would like to go there again, but I don't feel like going for the time being. Customer service doesn't just have to be a girl shouting in a cheerful voice. (Original) スープの味が濃いいので生姜はメガが良いと思います。トウガラシは日本にしては珍しくパンチが効いたヤツなのでカッコつけない方が良い。 (追記) 20191213 接客が悪かったので★4から2に変更。 1.後からオーダーした客を先にした。 2.うどんと天丼のセットにしたがうどんを食べ終わって天丼が出てくるまで時間がかりすぎ。本来同時でしょ。マズイ天丼のくせに。 3.ツレは肉ごぼう天を頼んだか、ごぼう天が入ってなくすぐお持ちしますと言いながらうどんを食べ終えた後持って来た。もう食べてしまったんですけどーと言ったところ、替え玉ありますよと寝ぼけたことを言っている。 肉うどん自体はウマイのでまた行きたいが当分行く気になれない。接客は女の子が明るい声で叫んでいれば良いと言う訳ではない。

(Translated by Google) The soup stock is black and looks Kanto style, but the ginger makes it refreshing. The meat was also soft and melty. The white fish and croquettes on the side menu are also freshly fried! The parts that aren't coated with sauce are soaked in the udon soup! And twice as delicious. (Original) 出汁が真っ黒で見た目は関東風ですが、生姜が効いてさっぱりいただけました。お肉も柔らかくてトロトロでした。 サイドメニューの白身魚とコロッケも揚げたてでふはっふはっ！ ソースがかかってない部分は、うどんの出汁にドボン！して二度美味しい。

(Translated by Google) I've been seeing it here and there lately. First time visiting. I received meat meat udon. A rich soup stock, sweetly boiled meat, and grated ginger that seems to have been inspired by the traditions of the Kitakyushu area. The bowl says ``Hakata specialty,'' but what kind of capital is it? Isn't it a "Kitakyushu specialty"? When I was eating it, it seemed like it would go really well with me. I thought about it, but then I realized it. It's an egg. You can eat it raw, half-boiled, in hot springs, or boiled. Eggs 🥚 should go well with sweet and thick dashi soup. Next time, let's add an egg 🥚 as a topping. (Original) 最近ちらほらと見かけるようになりました。 初めて訪問。肉肉うどんを頂きました。 北九州エリアの伝統にインスパイアされたかのような、濃いめの出汁と甘く煮た肉とおろし生姜。 丼には「博多名物」とあるけれど、どういう資本なのか？「北九州名物」ではないの？ 食べていて、なんかめちゃくちゃ合いそうだなぁ？と思ったら、途中でわかりました。玉子だ。 生でも半熟でも温泉でも煮卵でもいける。甘くて濃いめの出汁には卵🥚が合うはず。 今度はトッピングで卵🥚を載せよう。

Kind of higher class chain restaurant. Decent food and a decent steak at an affordable price (not soo common in Japan)

(Translated by Google) I used it on the weekend. It was a little past lunch time, but there were about 4 groups waiting. Unlike a typical family restaurant, the music is calm and classy. The price is quite high, but the drink bar I used had some nice things that other family restaurants' drink bars don't have, such as concentrated orange juice. The hamburger steak and omelet rice were all delicious, and the fried shrimp was thick and filling. I got the impression that most of the customers were a little older. The price is a little high, so I would like to use it again on days when I want a little luxury. (Original) 週末に利用しました。 お昼時を少し過ぎていたのですが、待ちは4組ほどでした。 一般的なファミレスと違い、音楽も落ち着いていて高級感があります。 価格もそれなりに高いのですが、利用したドリンクバーも濃縮のオレンジジュースなど他のファミレスのドリンクバーにはない少しいいものが置いてありました。 ハンバーグにオムライス、どれもおいしく、エビフライも太く食べ応えもありました。 お客さんは少し年齢が高めの方が多かった印象です。 少し価格が高めなので少し贅沢したい日などにまた利用したいと思いました。

(Translated by Google) I've been here several times because it's easy to park. This time, I chose the breakfast menu. I chose curry, but the curry sauce and rice came separately. A fried egg was served on top of the rice, and pickles were served with chutney? At first glance, it looked like curry sauce had spilled on the side. The portion was just right. I felt like I wasn't getting enough vegetables, so I ordered an acai bowl. It was filling and packed with bananas, yellow peaches, berries, and cereal. The drink bar had a wide selection of teas, so I was very happy. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 車が停めやすいので何度か利用しています。今回はモーニング カレーを選びましたが、ルーとご飯が別々に来ました。目玉焼きがご飯に乗って、添えられた漬物にチャツネ？横に一見カレールーがこぼれたかと思うようなものがかかっていました。量もちょうどよかったです。 野菜が足りないかなと思い、アサイーボウルをオーダー。バナナ、黄桃、ベリー、シリアルが入ってボリュームあり、おなかいっぱいになりました。 ドリンクバーの紅茶類が充実していて幸せTime ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) As the home of Royal Host, Fukuoka is truly delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff are attentive and courteous. I had the steak salad and melon parfait. ✨ The steak was rare, juicy, and tender. The slightly tart sauce was a great match. The kale salad wasn't overly bitter, and the nutty dressing was an exquisite combination. It was simply delicious. The melon parfait wasn't very big, but the aroma and soft texture of the melon jelly went perfectly with the cream and blueberries, and the aroma and texture of the almond slices added a nice accent, making it an exquisitely delicious dish. Lunch is also rich and high-quality, even for around 1,000 yen. I've been to Royal Host restaurants in the Kanto region before, but Fukuoka's was so delicious that it made me think it was in a class of its own. (Original) 福岡はロイヤルホストの本場だけあって本当に美味しいです。店内の雰囲気も落ち着いていて、店員さんも丁寧に接客してくれます。 ステーキサラダとメロンパフェ頂きました✨ ステーキは肉もレアでジューシーで柔らかったです。少し酸味のあるソース相性が良かった。ケールのサラダはしつこい苦みとかもなくて、とにかくナッツの入ったドレッシングが絶妙にあっていてとにかく美味しかったです。メロンパフェもあまり大きくなくてコンパクトですがメロンゼリーの香りや柔らかい食感とクリームとブルーベリーのマッチングが良くてアーモンドスライスの香りと食感のアクセントが良くて絶妙に美味しかったです。 ランチも1000円台でも十分リッチで高品質な食事がいただけます。 関東でもロイホは利用していましたが福岡は別格なのかな?と思うくらい美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I came here to celebrate my birthday. The staff at Ball were very friendly and I had a wonderful time. (Original) 誕生日のお祝いで来店しました。 ボールの方もとても感じの良い接客ですてきな時間を過ごせました。

(Translated by Google) I went to eat there on the morning of October 22nd, 2025, and the staff were sulky and unhappy. There were only two seats occupied, so it was pretty empty, but I was seated next to another customer. When I ordered, they ignored me and quickly went back inside, and I could hear the staff chatting among themselves. I could understand if it was a young part-time worker, but is it really okay for grown adults to serve customers with that kind of attitude? Not only was their sulky attitude obvious, but the pancakes they served were cold and the whipped margarine had solidified and not melted at all... The omelette was very tasty, by the way. However, despite being an old restaurant, it seems to have been well-maintained, and it was spotlessly clean. The only things they could improve are the temperature at which the food is served and their attitude toward customers. (Original) 2025/10/22の朝に食べに行ったのですが、接客も不機嫌そうに対応してくるし、席も2席しか埋まっていなくてスカスカだったのに他のお客さんの隣の席に案内された。 注文の時もこちらの言葉を無視して、すぐに中に戻り、スタッフ同士の談笑が聞こえてくる始末。 若いアルバイトならまだ分かるのですが、いい年した大人がそのような態度で接客するのはいかがなものでしょうか。 不機嫌さを全面に出された上に、商品のパンケーキは冷たく、ホイップマーガリンも固まったまま全然溶けませんでした… ちなみにオムレツはとてもおいしかったです。 ただ、古いお店にも関わらず清掃が行き届いているのか、清潔感は満点でした。 商品の提供温度と、接客態度だけなおしてほしいですね。

(Translated by Google) It's been a long time since I last heard from you. When it comes to parfaits, I think of Royal Host, so I want to go there every spring when they have strawberries and brûlée. This time I had the Angus beef salad. If you include rice, onion gratin soup, and a drink bar, it will cost you over 2,000 yen, and if you order a parfait, it will cost just under 3,000 yen, so it's a pretty high-end restaurant. It cost over 6,000 yen for two people, so it was quite a bargain. However, the brûlée was really delicious, and the cafe latte at the drink bar was also delicious, so I was satisfied. If you order a hamburger, steak, or fries with a drink bar, the budget per person should be around 1,500 to 2,500. postscript I always come here for the parfait during strawberry season. It would be great to be able to sit at a table by the window when the cherry blossoms are blooming, but this year I came in the winter when the strawberry fair had just started. Strawberry brûlée parfait. Fresh strawberries and caramelized, strawberry sorbet and pecan nuts, consistent deliciousness. Also, this time I received a morning gift. The store is always clean and nice. (Original) めちゃくちゃ久しぶりに伺いました。 パフェならロイヤルホストって思っているので、苺で、ブリュレも頂ける春は毎年行きたい。 今回はアンガスビーフのサラダを頂きました。 ご飯とオニオングラタンスープとドリンクバーをつけると2,000円超えちゃうし、更にパフェを頼むと3,000円弱になるのでかなりな高級レストランですね。2人で行って6千円越えだったのでなかなかのものです。 でもブリュレめちゃめちゃ美味しかったし、ドリンクバーのカフェラテも美味しかったので満足です。 ハンバーグやステーキ、フライをドリンクバー付きで注文すると、一人頭の予算は1,500から2,500くらいをみておかないと。 追記 いちごの季節に必ずパフェを頂きに伺います。 桜の開花している時に窓際のテーブルに座れたら最高なのですが、今年はいちごのフェア始まったばかりの冬に来ました。 いちごのブリュレパフェ。 フレッシュないちごとキャラメリゼ、いちごソルベとペカンナッツ、安定の美味しさ。 それと今回はモーニングも頂きました。 いつも清潔感があって素敵なお店です。
