♦ Canal City Hakata

The most notable attraction in Fukuoka is Canal City Hakata, a giant shopping center unlike any you’ve ever seen before! This isn’t just any mall.

Also known as the Maizuru or Seki Castle, this historic site is a must-visit for any history-lovers who are visiting Fukuoka. Located right in the center of the city, these ancient ruins have been converted into a park, where you can now enjoy sports courts, gardens an art museum, and a few preserved remnants from the original castle. Discover old-world turrets, towers, stone walls, and even parts of an original guest house from the Edo period.

♦ Dazaifu Tenmangu

As Fukuoka has many cultural and religious roots, it’s no surprise that the city is filled with temples and shrines. One of the most notable shrines is Dazaifu Tenmangu, which is dedicated to Michizane and his defied form, Tenjin. The shrine grounds stretch over 3,000 acres and feature the main shrine as well as a few relaxing ponds, a bridge, treasure house (featuring some artifacts), and a few other shrines that are dedicated to spirits. One unique highlight is the inclusion of 6,000 plum trees, which are reminiscent of Michizane’s legend. There are also a few stands that sell bean cakes, a snack favored by Michizane.
