Dazaifu Tenman-gū is a Shinto shrine in Dazaifu, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is built over the grave of Sugawara no Michizane and is one of the main shrines dedicated to Tenjin, the deified form of Michizane.

Oyster Hut (Kakigoya)
October 27, 2025 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Every year from autumn through spring, the fishing ports around the Itoshima Peninsula come alive with the glow of charcoal grills and the scent of the sea. Operated by local fishermen and cooperatives, these temporary oyster huts—simple, bustling, and unmistakably Itoshima—serve up freshly harvested oysters sold by the kilogram. Diners grill them right at their tables, cracking open the shells as the juices sizzle and steam rises.

Some S2J 2025 travelers love oysters, while others don’t. However, since oysters are not very common in the U.S., it was a good experience for everyone.Read more

Salt Factory
October 27, 2025 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Shuichi Hirakawa has been making mineral-rich salt here since 2000. Hirakawa went abroad to study cooking in his twenties. After returning to Japan, he found that the salt in Japan was all pretty much the same in taste and quality. Wanting something better, he then decided to make his own original high-quality salt.

The final stop for the S2J 2025 travelers was a salt factory in Itoshima, where everyone learned how to make mineral-rich salt using traditional methods. They also enjoyed “salt pudding” and experienced Japan’s well-organized system of recycling bottles and other items.Read more
