Dazaifu Tenmangu is a historic Shinto shrine in Fukuoka, Japan, dedicated to Sugawara Michizane, the deity of learning, culture, and the arts. With over 10 million visitors annually, it's a top spot for both spiritual seekers and art enthusiasts. The shrine boasts ancient grounds, including torii gates and camphor trees, and hosts a variety of cultural events and art installations. It's a must-visit destination blending tradition with creativity, offering a unique experience for all who come through its gates. I, Ryu, also visited this shrine before my university entrance exams to pray for success—and in the end, I passed!

Visit in June for the Ajisan Festival.
