Overview

The Dazaifu Government Office Ruins are the remains of an administrative organization that governed Kyushu from the late 7th to the late 12th centuries. It played an important role as the forefront of defense and a gateway to the Asian continent. Although the buildings are gone, the foundation stones remain, telling the story of the power of that time. The government office ruins have been developed as a park where you can enjoy the nature of each season. Cherry blossoms bloom in spring, and many people visit for cherry blossom viewing. There are also historical sites such as the Dazaifu Exhibition Hall and Kanzeonji Temple in the surrounding area, making it ideal for a historical walk. We recommend visiting it together with Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine.
