Fukuoka's Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is built on the gravesite of Sugawara no Michizane, who was a talented scholar and poet. As a result of this, the shrine has become a spot for students to pray for success with their studies and exams. One thing I noticed on my visit was the large number of school groups that were visiting the site for field trips.
The walk up to the shrine is along a shopping street that offers up plenty of souvenirs and stores selling tasty eats and drinks. If you need a caffeine fix, there's also a uniquely designed Starbucks, or some mom-and-pop style tea houses to enjoy.
