Today my mother and I went to Dazaifu to explore
the shrine. We were very fortunate because there was a special event or
celebration going on today.
Dazaifu Tenman-gu Shrine enshrines Sugawara
Michizane (845-903) as the god of academic achievement.
We spent the majority of the day walking around
the property of Dazaifu. We stopped in the Starbucks for a little refreshment.
Once we had more energy we hit the shops and found some nice items.
We then headed back to Tenjin where we switched
trains and went to Hakata. I was able to introduce my mother to the huge food
market on the lower level. There are a variety of foods, but we stuck to some
fresh baked breads to take home.
There was a lot going on
today, but I am a little tired and ready to relax. Hopefully, I can come back
into my blog tomorrow and update information. The typhoon that is going by
right now is causing strong winds which is making my apartment sound like a
wind tunnel.
More to come later…
