A decentralized Hotel with four buildings, restored from historic structures, located near Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine.

Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, revered as a sacred site of culture and arts, is the resting place of Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning. HOTEL CULTIA Dazaifu is located in the charming town at the shrine's gate, just about a 1-minute walk from its grounds. Dazaifu has played a significant role since the Yayoi period as "To no Mikado," connecting Japan with continental Asia. Inspired by this land's rich "CULTURE," our hotel offers an intellectually stimulating cultural experience. Guests can enjoy a stay that reflects Dazaifu’s unique identity as a sanctuary for learning and arts dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane. We have restored historically valuable buildings from the late Edo period in this townscape near the shrine gates. Guests can now stay amidst these cultural treasures, immersing themselves in an experience that feels seamlessly integrated into Dazaifu’s historic setting. As an exclusive cultural experience for our guests, we offer special access to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine after closing hours for nighttime visits. Discover new charms of Dazaifu and spend enriching moments during your stay. One highlight of your journey will be dining on fusion cuisine crafted with carefully selected ingredients centered around Fukuoka specialties and elevated by exceptional French techniques. Representing Dazaifu’s history as Japan’s ancient gateway where diverse cultures converged, this culinary experience promises surprises and delight at every turn.

  • From the moment we stepped through the noren curtain, it felt special and exciting. The staff were cheerful and friendly, which was wonderful. The Room made me want to live there rather than just stay overnight. We enjoyed a delicious meal while watching the surroundings gradually grow darker. As an extra order, we had foie gras added on top of the meat, and it was excellent. Since it was an all-inclusive Plan, we fully enjoyed some great cocktails. It’s also close to Dazaifu, so we were very satisfied. I’ve already been recommending it to friends.

  • The area around the Hotel was very quiet, and the room we stayed in was excellent. We had breakfast for two days; it was delicious and made with local ingredients. The staff were polite and made our stay very comfortable. We would love to visit again.
