Komyozenji Temple, located just south of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, is renowned for its serene gardens. The temple features two stunning karesansui (dry landscape) gardens: the Bukko-sekitei in the front and the Itteki-kai-tei in the back, both offering unique perspectives and tranquility. Founded in the Kamakura period, the temple is associated with the legend of Toson (Tang) Tenjin. Visitors can also enjoy beautiful autumn foliage. It's a 5-minute walk from Nishitetsu Dazaifu Station. Note that the temple may be closed for occasional religious events.
