[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Nanzoin Temple (Updated Apr)

#FukuokaTravel Located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Nanzo-in Temple is a historical and cultural hotspot that houses the world's largest statue of Gautama Buddha and more than 4,000 urns. Every corner here is filled with the collision of tradition and modernity, making you feel like you have walked into a living cultural painting. Follow the crowd out of the station and walk to the bridge with a xylophone keyboard. You can play it with percussion sticks, which is super fun! After arriving at Omotesando, keep walking up and you will see the Great Acala. This Acala has a mighty appearance and possesses the "Eyes of Heaven and Earth", symbolizing omniscient wisdom. The Sakyamuni Buddha statue is super stunning. You must take photos and check in! Looking at this reclining Buddha, I feel a little sleepy. This is not only a religious belief, but also a crystallization of art. From Hakata: Take the Sasaguri Line (Fukuhoku Yutaka Line) from JR Hakata Station to Kido-Minami-Kurainmae Station (approximately 20 minutes). #trip #relax #traveltojapan #japanattractions

#福冈之旅 This time I traveled alone to Fukuoka, Kyushu for 5 days and 4 nights. I avoided the crowds and deeply felt the beauty of Fukuoka city and its surroundings. Now I will share my itinerary with you~ 1. Songfeng Garden This is a Japanese garden located in the city. You can see it by passing through a mansion. In autumn, this place will be dyed red by maple leaves. It is really comfortable to sit in the teahouse, sipping tea and admiring the maple leaves. The quaint buildings are matched with gorgeous maple leaves, and every shot is a blockbuster. 2. Nanzoin Temple It takes half an hour to get there by JR from the city. There is one of the largest reclining bronze Buddha statues in the world. Unfortunately, it was under repair when I went there. It is said that it will take three years to repair. However, in addition to the reclining Buddha, the mountains, forests, waterfalls and torii along the way are also worth seeing. You can complete the entire journey in half a day. The journey is quiet and peaceful, which can greatly relax your mind. 3. Ohori Park & ​​Fukuoka Museum of Art The ecological environment of Ohori Park is super good. I saw many elderly people feeding carp and turtles by the lake, which was full of the atmosphere of life. The Fukuoka Art Museum is right next to the park, and the cafe in the museum faces the lake, with a beautiful view. When I went there, it happened to be the last day of the KEITH HARING exhibition. The museum was so quiet that I didn't dare to take a deep breath. It formed a strong contrast with the "noisy" street popular graffiti, which was very interesting🤣 Itinerary • Day 1: Arrive in Fukuoka, check in to the hotel, take a short rest and walk around the city to get familiar with the environment. • Day 2: Go to Songfeng Garden to experience the beauty of the Japanese garden. You can spend the afternoon freely in the city. • Day 3: Take the JR to Nanzoin, hike to enjoy the scenery, and return to the city in the evening. • Day 4: Visit Ohori Park and Fukuoka Museum of Art and enjoy some leisure time. • Day 5: Pack up and prepare for the return trip. Hotel recommendations • Hotels near Hakata Station: convenient transportation, food and shopping nearby, such as JR Kyushu Hotel, which has comfortable rooms and good service. • Hotels in Tenjin area: The commercial area is prosperous, with many department stores and restaurants. Hotels like Mitsui Garden Hotel have a good location and high cost performance. My dears, if you also want to travel alone in Fukuoka to avoid the crowds, I hope my guide can help you~

Family members, you must listen to advice! Don’t miss Nanzoin Temple when you come to Fukuoka. I guarantee you will say it’s worth the money!

It is the largest bronze reclining Buddha in the world, weighing over 300 tons, 41 meters long, and 11 meters high. If you look at the hands of the Buddha, you will see five different colored cloths. Since the Buddha is so large and tall, this cloth connects the Buddha's hands to the bottom so that worshippers can hold the colored cloth, as if they were touching the Buddha's hands through these colored cloths. The cloth tied around it has 5 colors, and the 5 colors come from the light that the Buddha saw when he became enlightened. At the soles of the Buddha's feet, we can walk up the stairs to get a closer look because there are gold patterns carved into them. These patterns represent the heart of the Buddha's teachings. People who come to pay homage usually place coins here. To get to Nanzoin Temple, take the JR Sasaguri Line and get off at Kido Nanzoin-mae Station.

When I first planned to visit here, I thought there was only one big Buddha So I didn’t have much expectations, but it turns out that this giant Buddha is more spectacular than I imagined! Nanzoin is about half an hour’s drive from Fukuoka. It takes about 25 minutes by JR from Hakata Station to Kido Nanzoin-mae Station. There are less people here and it is a niche attraction. Photography is prohibited in many places within the hospital, and no tripods are allowed. So I didn’t take pictures of some places, but I think they are worth visiting! We passed through the Seven Lucky Gods Tunnel, and there were many small Buddha statues along the way. I saw the world’s largest bronze statue of Sakyamuni Nirvana Buddha. It’s really huge. Most people come here to seek wealth! Also, no one should wear shorts or skirts! 📍Nanzangyuan #globaltravel

#Japan and Korea City Attractions #Fukuoka #Overseas Travel Nanzoin is a Buddhist temple located in Sasaguri Town, Fukuoka Prefecture. It is the head temple of the Sasaguri Shikoku Shrine. I saw the introduction of this place on the Internet and was very interested in its history and culture, so I decided to visit it. 😊😊😊 I took the Fukuhokutoyo Line 🚇 from Hakata Station and arrived at Kido-Minamizoin Station in about 35 minutes, and then walked for a few minutes to the entrance of Minamizoin. I saw rows of stone lanterns and a bridge called the Melody Bridge. There were iron plates on the bridge, which produced the melody of Japanese nursery rhymes when struck. It was very interesting. 🎵🎵 I walked up the stone steps and saw an 11-meter-tall statue of Acala with an Immovable Waterfall behind it, which was very majestic. I also saw a Seven Lucky Gods Tunnel, which has various statues of gods praying for wealth, health, longevity, etc. It is very unique. 🎈🎈🎈 What I am most looking forward to is the world's largest bronze statue of Sakyamuni's Nirvana. It is 41 meters long, 11 meters high, and weighs about 300 tons. It lies in a square, looking up at the sky with a peaceful expression. I approached him and saw five colored ropes tied on his hands. It was said that they were the five rays of light emitted by him when he died. I held the ropes and prayed to him. I also touched the soles of his feet, which were covered with various patterns representing his teachings and compassion. I feel like he gives me a sense of strength and peace. 🤗🤗🤗 Address: 1035 Sasaguri, Kasuya District, Fukuoka 811-2405 Japan
