Nanzoin

Highly recommend to see when in Fukuoka, however, it is not the best place to go in hot summer. If takes around 35 min from Hakata station. Overall, visiting a place won’t take a lot of your time.

The temple is renowned for its colossal reclining Buddha statue, among the world's largest, which emanates serenity and sets a peaceful tone for the visit. The well-maintained grounds feature traditional architecture, gardens, and smaller shrines that encourage contemplation and meditation. Inside the main hall, a seated Buddha statue exudes wisdom and compassion, accompanied by the soft glow of candles and the scent of incense. Modern amenities, like a cable car ride to the mountaintop, provide panoramic views of the area. However, the statue's prominence sometimes overshadows the temple's intricate spiritual offerings and architectural beauty. Despite this, Nanzoin Temple's atmosphere and grandeur make it an unforgettable experience for those seeking spiritual reflection, cultural immersion, or a moment of tranquility amidst breathtaking surroundings.

When you visit Fukuoka, you must go to Nanjoin. There are many things to see after leaving religion. ㆍ It was so good to walk on the quiet road to Nanjoin ㆍ Recommended

If you plan to travel to Fukuoka, we definitely recommend going to Nanzoin. You will be overwhelmed by the power of the big Buddha. I bought a beckoning cat that seems to be profitable.
