Introducing Dazaifu

Dazaifu, once the governmental centre of Kyūshū, is an amiable place for a day visit. Japan’s newest national museum, a beautiful cluster of temples and a shrine make Dazaifu a rewarding day trip from Fukuoka. The tourist information office (925-1880; 9am-5.30pm) at Nishitetsu-Dazaifu station has helpful staff and an excellent English-language brochure map that details outlying ruins, temples and minor sights.
