Nanzoin Temple, Fukuoka

#TravelJapan #TravelAbroad Nanzoin Temple #TheWorld'sLargestRecliningBuddhaTemple Located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan This temple is famous for asking for good fortune. Recommended by #spiritualists, jot down the coordinates. The Buddha statue was built in 1995 and is made of copper mixed with tin. It weighs over 300 tons. It is very large, about the same size as the Statue of Liberty. • Open: 10:00-16:30 • No admission fee (except for entering the Buddha statue, which costs 500 yen). • Travel recommendations: From Fukuoka, take the JR Sasaguri Line and get off at Kido Nanzoin Mae Station (4 stations). It takes 20 minutes on the train and then walk up the mountain to the temple for about 5 minutes. #nanzoin #fukuoka #traveljapan

Nanzoin Temple

#VisitFukuoka Nanzoin Temple in Fukuoka is a must-see. It houses the world's largest bronze reclining Buddha (almost 41 meters long) amidst a lush, shady atmosphere. It's perfect for strolling, making merit, and enjoying the tranquility. 🐱 Another lovely feature are the small stone cat statues hidden in various corners, seemingly welcoming visitors (cats are considered auspicious in Japanese beliefs). ⛩️ The temple entrance, with its prominent red torii gates nestled amidst lush greenery, is another must-see. 👕 Dress code: Dress appropriately, including sleeveless shirts and long pants or skirts, as if you're visiting a Thai temple. If you don't want to dress up, don't worry; they provide cloths (rental fees apply). 👟 Comfortable shoes are recommended, as there are some stairs to climb up and down. Elderly people may have difficulty walking.) 🕰️ The temple is open daily from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We recommend going early in the morning to avoid the heat and avoid crowds. 🚊 Access: Take the JR Sasaguri Line from Hakata Station and get off at Kido-Nanzoin-mae Station (30 minutes). Then, it's a 3-5 minute walk. 🎶 There's a little gimmick along the way from the station to the temple: there's a musical bridge where you can tap to play music as you cross it. It's so cute! #TravelJapan #TravelFukuoka #Fukuoka #FukuokaSummer #fukuoka
