I Stayed in Fukuoka for five days. On second day I went to Dazaifu Tenman-gū that is a Shinto shrine in Dazaifu noted in connection with the new era's name Reiwa. It is built over the grave of Sugawara no Michizane (845–903) who was a scholar, poet, and politician. #太宰府天満宮

Oka-dera is an old Buddhist temple in the historic Asuka area of Nara Prefecture. Japanese garden adjacent to the temple's building is small but so impressive. #岡寺 #明日香
