Dazaifu Gakkōin Site, Educational archeological site in Dazaifu, Japan
The foundations of the Dazaifu Gakkoin reveal seven buried pillar buildings, including warehouse structures and a larger building with extended north and south eaves.
Founded in the 8th century, this educational center trained 200 government officials from six Kyushu provinces, positioned between the Dazaifu Government Office and Kanzeon-ji Temple.
Students at Dazaifu Gakkoin studied politics, medicine, arithmetic, writing, and classical Confucian texts as part of their preparation for public service roles.
The archaeological site stands a 15-minute walk from Tofuromae Station on the Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line, making it accessible for visitors to Fukuoka Prefecture.
Chinese pistache trees line the path to the site, grown from seeds originating from Confucius' Mausoleum, connecting the institution to Chinese scholarly traditions.
