Nanzoin Temple Nanzoin Temple

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.)
