Tenmangu, where Sugawara Michizane is enshrined, is renowned throughout Japan as the "God of Learning" and "God of Calligraphy." With a history of 1,100 years, this sacred place is highly respected. It attracts millions of visitors annually, including parents seeking blessings for their children and high school students preparing for college entrance exams. Visitors come to write their wishes for success on small wooden boards and pray for blessings. The main hall features a remarkable plum tree known as the "Flying Plum," which is said to have flown from Kyoto. Another plum tree, known as the "Queen's Plum," was bestowed by a queen in the past. Tenmangu boasts over 6,000 plum trees that divide the area into multiple sections, showcasing various attractions such as the Momoyama-style main hall, Sugawara Michizane's burial place, the sacred Feimei tree, and a treasure hall housing national cultural relics. Throughout the year, the temple hosts numerous ceremonial events, including the Yingti Festival in the first month, the Ghost Festival, the Qushui Banquet in spring, and the Shenxing Festival in autumn.
Yufuin is a charming mountain town located in Oita County, Kyushu, Japan. Originally known as Yufuin, it merged with Yuhira village in 1955 and adopted the name "Yufuin." However, both the station and the basin still retain the name "Yufuin." Yufuin Onsen, the prominent hot spring resort, is renowned for its natural springs, ranking third in Japan in terms of spring volume. It serves as a popular summer destination in Kyushu, attracting visitors seeking relaxation and rejuvenation.
The Beppu area is renowned for its numerous hot springs, often referred to collectively as the "hells." Among them, the most famous are the eight hell hot springs in Beppu. These include the Sea Hell, Ghost Stone Fangzhu Hell, Mountain Hell, Kitchen Hell, Ghost Mountain Hell, White Pond Hell, Blood Pond Hell (also known as Blood Pool Hell), and Tornado Hell. One of these hot springs is called the Hell of the Stove. The name originated from an ancient tradition where the hell's heat was used for sacrificial purposes during the second spring and autumn temple fair of the Kamamon Hachiman Shrine. The hell hot springs feature powerful jets and high-temperature waters, reaching up to 90 degrees Celsius.
