Nanzoin Temple is a famous temple and a popular tourist attraction for tourists visiting Fukuoka. How to get to Nanzoin Temple We can take the JR Sasaguri Line and get off at Kido Nanzoin-mae Station. The fare is about 380 yen. The highlight of the temple is the reclining Buddha statue, which is 41 meters long, 11 meters high, and weighs 300 tons. You can enter the Buddha statue inside for a 500 yen entrance fee. You will receive a wooden plaque to write your wishes and make a wish. You can only make one wish. (Photography is prohibited inside.) Inside, there is a walkway with small Buddha statues lining the walls on both sides. When you walk up the stairs to the upper floor, you will be able to place your written wishes. (The staff said that the part where we were standing to make a wish was the hall at the chest of the reclining Buddha.) ❎Temple prohibitions❎ Do not wear shorts above the knee. Do not wear crop tops or tank tops. Do not wear short skirts. No cosplay costumes If you have a tattoo outside of your clothes, you can wrap it with a cloth or wear a jacket over it. If you are wearing inappropriate clothing, the temple provides a sarong to wear over it. And a very important prohibition is that you are not allowed to make loud noises within the temple grounds. There are signs posted along the walkways saying that you are not allowed to make loud noises, listen to music, or take pictures in certain areas. #fukuoka #nanzoin
