Kamado Jinja Shrine <\/strong>
\nFor over 1,350 years, people have been coming to Kamado Jinja Shrine on Mt. Homan to pray to the god of en-musubi<\/em> (roughly, \u201cmatchmaking\u201d) for good relationships, romantic or otherwise. In 2012, the juyosho (shrine office) was renovated\u2014juxtaposing modern design with ancient tradition. On the observation deck, you can sit in Jasper Morrison-designed chairs as you take in vistas of Dazaifu. Why not pick up some stylish ofuda<\/em> and omamori<\/em> (good luck charms)? This shrine is a 40-minute walk or 10-minute local bus ride from Dazaifu Station.<\/p>\n

Konotori<\/strong>
\nRamen soup comes in many flavors, from pork bone and soy sauce to miso<\/em> and seafood, but one flavor that has recently come into vogue is tori\u00adpaitan<\/em>, or chicken broth. Tori\u00adpaitan<\/em> is a rich, milky white broth made from whole chickens and chicken bones which are stewed for 8~10 hours until the soup reaches a porridge-\u00adlike consistency. You can choose from three types of noodles: tori\u00adpaitan soba<\/em> (mellow broth, \u00a5650), noko tori\u00adpaitan soba<\/em> (rich broth, \u00a5700) or noko tori tsuke\u00admen<\/em> (rich broth with noodles served on the side for dipping, \u00a5750). Enjoy the tsukemen<\/em> with flat noodles, and the soba<\/em> with chijire<\/em> (curly noodles). Flavor your dish with either salt or soy sauce, and then garnish it with green onions and bamboo shoots, or, if you want the full poultry experience, chicken meatballs or chicken char siu. Or how about an egg boiled in Japanese dashi<\/em> (\u00a5100)? Don\u2019t forget to purchase your tickets from the vending machine in advance – the staff can help you.<\/p>\n
