If you are traveling to Fukuoka, you cannot miss the historic Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine! Known as the most famous sanctuary in the region, it is dedicated to the deity of learning, making it the ultimate destination for students and those seeking academic success or passing exams. Whether you are praying for a high score or just soaking in the traditional Japanese atmosphere, this place is magic.

The Ultimate Dazaifu Snack Guide:

Umegae-mochi (Plum Branch Mochi): You MUST try this local specialty! It is a delicious grilled rice cake filled with sweet red bean paste. Pro-tip: Buy a Westetsu rail pass to get vouchers for these treats!

Chikushian Fried Chicken: Famous for their incredibly juicy Karaage burgers and variety of flavors.

Hishisho Mentaiko Sho-mai: Don’t miss these steamed dumplings packed with Fukuoka’s famous spicy cod roe.

Fukutaro: The headquarters for the famous Mentaiko crackers, where you can also grab a freshly grilled Mentaiko rice ball.

Sawawa (Matcha Specialty): A dream for matcha lovers! Their matcha warabimochi and soft-serve ice cream are top-tier.

After a full day of exploring the shrine, the Treasure Museum, and the Kyushu National Museum, take the train back to Hakata to hunt for more gourmet food, or head to Tenjin and Nakasu for the legendary Yatai (street food stalls) to end your night with a perfect late-night snack!

New Apartment New Setup

I moved into a new apartment today. As such I have much more space to utilize for my Shinto and Buddhist practices.

For example before a lot of my items were crammed together on the desk shelf, but now I have much more wall space, so I've been able to hang more items up :)

I also have much more shelf space, so now I can dedicate whole shelves to my Shinto books and to my Goshuin. And because I have more wall space I can finally get some of my Goshuin from Japan mounted and displayed like I had originally meant to.

I also have more space for my Buddhist practice, and have a shelf below dedicated to holding items for worship like candles, matches and more incense.

The calligraphy above the image of the 1,000 Handed Kannon was done by our sangha's founder :)

Also to celebrate my first night in the apartment I went out for udon (duck udon Yum!) and got Non Alcoholic Umeshu in honor of Tenjin-sama!
