Über dieses Fest
Dazaifu Tenmangu, in Dazaifu about 35 minutes by Nishitetsu train from Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station, holds its Baikasai plum blossom festival on February 25, the anniversary of Sugawara no Michizane's death, and the priests wear plum blossoms in their caps. The shrine grounds have 6,000 plum trees of about 200 varieties. The sacred Tobiume stands to the right of the main sanctuary and, the shrine says, blooms first each spring, with the other plum trees following in turn.
