Dazaifu Exhibition Hall

The Dazaifu Exhibition Hall houses archaeological artifacts, excavated relics, and detailed scale models that illustrate the ancient governmental complex and daily life of this former administrative center.

Established in 1980, this museum preserves discoveries from the ancient Dazaifu government headquarters that served as Kyushu's administrative center during the Nara and Heian periods from the 7th to 12th centuries.

The museum displays a famous diorama recreation of the Plum Blossom Banquet held in 730 AD, which inspired poetry that later became the source for Japan's Reiwa era name.

Located near Dazaifu Station with a modest admission fee of 200 yen, the museum offers guided tours, educational programs, and wheelchair accessibility for visitors of all ages.

Visitors can observe actual preserved archaeological remains including ancient stone pavements and drainage systems discovered directly beneath the museum building during excavation work.
