Hi, I’m Tabi!

Dazaifu in Fukuoka combines traditions of learning with cultural-exchange history. Shrine and museum arrangements differ; choose one stop first.

This guide covers places within Dazaifu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Umegae mochi is a grilled rice cake filled with red-bean paste, featured in the city’s food guide. Its name does not imply a plum ingredient; check actual ingredients and allergies. No shop menu or price is guaranteed.
