5月28日(gogatsu nijyuhachi nichi): May 28

It has been raining.
I went to the Kyushu (九州) National Museum in Dazaifu (大宰府). I asked the volunteer guide. It is the fourth National Museum after Tokyo (東京), Kyoto (京都), and Nara (奈良). However those museums were built more than 100 years ago. The Kyushu National Museum opened on October 16, 2005. Therefore it is a rather new museum. The building itself is very big and attractive. It has applied many new technologies such as solar panels and water filtering system. It is an eco-friendly building.
Dazaifu is very famous for Dazaifu tenmangu (大宰府天満宮), the shrine enshrined Sugawara no Michizane (菅原道真). From there it is connected by the walking pavement. So it is very convenient.
I recommend you to visit there.
