About this Shrine

Located in the city of Dazaifu, Fukuoka Prefecture, Noguchi Tennōjin Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Tennoji, the god of learning and scholarship. Founded during the Edo period, the shrine is known for its striking architecture and tranquil gardens. The shrine's beautiful wooden torii gate and stunning cherry blossom trees are particularly notable features. The shrine's history dates back to 1624, when it was rebuilt after a fire destroyed the original structure.
