Activity itinerary

Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine

1h 50m

Step into centuries of tradition and reverence at Dazaifu Tenmangū, one of Japan’s most celebrated Shinto shrines, dedicated to the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane — the deity of learning and scholarship. Nestled in the charming city of Dazaifu, just outside Fukuoka, this cultural treasure offers visitors a peaceful retreat filled with spiritual energy, historic architecture, and seasonal natural beauty. Wander through the serene grounds lined with ancient camphor trees, cross iconic arched bridges over tranquil ponds, and admire the shrine’s ornate buildings dating back to the 10th century. Whether you’re here to pray for academic success, explore Japanese history, or simply soak in the tranquil atmosphere, Dazaifu Tenmangū is an unforgettable stop on any Kyushu itinerary. Don't miss the chance to taste the famous local umegae mochi (sweet rice cake), sold near the shrine, and explore nearby attractions like the Kyushu National Museum.

Nyoirinji Temple

1h 50m

Discover the unique charm of Nyoirinji Temple, also known as Ruyilun Temple, a hidden gem nestled in the quiet countryside of Ogōri, Fukuoka Prefecture. With a history spanning over 1,300 years, this serene Buddhist temple is best known for its quirky and delightful collection of over 5,000 frog figurines from around the world, earning it the nickname “Kaeru-dera” or “Frog Temple.” Dedicated to Nyoirin Kannon, the deity of compassion and wish fulfillment, the temple offers a peaceful escape surrounded by seasonal beauty—from blooming hydrangeas in early summer to vibrant foliage in autumn. Visitors often come to pray for safe returns, as the word "kaeru" (frog) also means "to return" in Japanese, symbolizing safe journeys and good fortune. Whether you’re drawn by its spiritual significance, playful frog statues, or scenic tranquility, Nyoirinji Temple offers a memorable experience rich in history, culture, and charm.

Known for its relaxing atmosphere, boutique shops, art museums, and natural beauty, this idyllic destination offers an authentic experience of rural Japan with a touch of elegance. At the heart of Yufuin lies the serene Kinrin Lake, famous for its unique phenomenon where warm hot spring water meets cold mountain spring water, creating mystical morning mist—especially enchanting in autumn and winter. Surrounded by walking paths, cafés, and galleries, the lake is a peaceful retreat ideal for strolling, photography, and quiet reflection. Whether you’re exploring the quaint streets lined with local crafts and sweets, soaking in a traditional onsen, or enjoying the tranquil views of Kinrin Lake, Yufuincho Kawakami is a perfect destination for nature lovers, couples, and those seeking a peaceful getaway.
