We also recommend checking out the Dazaifu Government Office ruins.
The origin of the new Japanese era “Reiwa” is “Ume-no-hana no Uta” contained in Japan’s oldest songbook “Manyoshu.”
The Umehana Banquet described in the preface to the song is said to be held in the vicinity of Sakamoto Hachimangu Shrine in Dazaifu, and has been popular with many tourists since the beginning of the new era.
There is also a traditional Dazaifu craft called "Kiuso" that has been handed down from generation to generation in Dazaifu, that depicts a small bird perched in a tree.
The thin feathers are carved out of the wood using a chisel. You can see this at 1:03 in the video.
Also, the festival “Usokae / Onisube Shinji,” designated as an intangible ethnic cultural property, introduced at 1:32 in the video, is one of the three major fire festivals and is a popular festival that many tourists from Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine visit.

The Dazaifu area has a lot to offer, so we recommend enjoying lunch or dinner at one of the city's gourmet spots, or staying at a hotel and spending a night or two exploring the city at your leisure.
