Dazaifu!

Last Weekend(14th) we decided to go to Dazaifu Tenmanguu、Which is one of the Shrines i think. It was pretty interesting they had a lot of stuff that i didnt understand hahaha.

 There was the main Shrine where most people would go to, and then around that are many many smaller ones.


We went to the main Shrine, tossed in some money and prayed. We went shopping in the local area for a bit and there was some pretty interesting things. We ate some food that was well-known in the area it was called Umegaemochi Which was just some mashed plum thing inside Mochi, regardless it was really nice XD.

(Photos, soon).




This Particular Grave is something like Graveyard of the Pens. Writers and Artists seem to come here to throw away their pens/ brushes I believe. Notice the Tombstone even has a Paintbrush on top.


This is the Main part where people come to toss money in and pray and there are a couple of shops that sell lucky charms on the sides too.
←This is the Entrance to the main Shrine.

Some mass gathering of Koi Fishy.




Grabbing the Horns seems to be what people do to this statue thingy.
