Dazaifu, Fukuoka / 大宰府政庁跡
Dazaifu Government Office Ruins
"Dazaifu" was the government office that ruled all of Kyushu from the late 7th century through the Nara and Heian periods, and the site of its central administrative area is known as the "Tofuro ruins". As the key to defending western Japan and a window to the Asian continent, the office was built at the heart of Dazaifu. Foundation stones remain, and it is a national special historic site laid out as a historic park; about 100 cherry trees bloom in spring, and the Dazaifu Exhibition Hall near the entrance introduces the history and culture of Dazaifu.
