Site of Dazaifu Government Office
Government site of Ancient Kyushu. Known as TOFURO, the site was used during the
Nara (710 to 794 AD) and Heian (794 to 1185 AD) period. The Dazaifu was responsible
for supervising Japan’s maritime frontier, as well as for administering the nine provinces
and two island of the Saikaido (modern Kyushu).

In those days, a great edifice with vermillion columns and tiled roof stood at the foot of Mt. Ono, but
today all that remains is a park containing the huge foundation stones of the original building.
