⛩ Nanzoin Temple The reclining Buddha statue is bigger than I imagined or saw in the photos, and I was really surprised and overwhelmed.ᐟ.ᐟ It is surrounded by forests and mountains, so you can feel nature. However, it is very hot in the summer, so be careful. There is a spot where you can take a rest while looking at the reclining Buddha statue? A bench? It seems like it, and everyone was relaxing while eating the soft serve ice cream that is sold there🍦💛 There are more foreigners than Japanese people, so I wonder if everyone likes big things and Buddha statues in general? I wondered😂♡ 📍1035 Sasaguri, Sasaguri-cho, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture #0 yen trip January 2025

#Fukuoka Attractions A relatively niche attraction There won’t be too many people It is actually very convenient to take Jr from Fukuoka to Nanzoin There are many trains Get off the bus and walk for about 8 minutes The path is quite quiet The scenery along the way is worth taking pictures The main thing here is to see the world’s largest bronze statue of Shakyamuni meters long The effect is very shocking! This bronze statue alone is highly recommended to see And the view from the temple is beautiful There are also different worship activities mode of transportation Fukuito Line (JR) From Hakata Station to Nanzangin-mae Ride time: Approx. 24 mins (7 stops)
