2010年6月12日 English, General American: Trip to Dazaifu

I went a short trip to Dazaifu with my friend today. Dazaifu is a city of Fukuoka Pref. Dazaifu has a long history, great Shrine and big museum. I took Nishitetsu Train from Tenjin to Dazaifu.

As fast as we got off, we took a walk around Monzen-machi. Monzen-machi is a street of the front of Dazaifu Tenman-gu. There are a lot of shops that sell Umegae-mochi. Umegae-mochi is a rice cake which Sweet bean paste is in. Atmosphere of Monzan-machi of Dazaifu is like to that of Kiyomizudera Temple, Kyoto. I had a lunch there. I had a lunch plate. It was delicious especially plum source.

After I had a lunch, I visited Dazaifu Tenman-gu to pray for passing HSK(Chinese Examination I will take next week.). Dazaifu Tenman-gu is known as the god of learning.

I entered Kyushu National Museum. It is one of the purposes of this trip. A lot of Old Imari what European organizations have is coming there until Jun 13. European kings Families wanted china but they couldn't get china so merchant buy china from Japanese. The longer Japanese china's history became, The more exquisite china is. And gradually European prefer to Japanese design.

I went to permanent exhibition, too. There is exhibit earthenware or something by the history of Kyushu.

I bought Rice crackers of Mochikichi as souvenir for me. It is so delicious.

I had a very nice trip. I was happy to learn Japanese culture before I study in Shanghai.
