Nanzoin Temple houses the world's largest bronze reclining Buddha.

The world's largest bronze reclining Buddha statue is 41 meters long and 11 meters high. In Sasaguri Town, there is the so-called Sasaguri 88 temples. According to local urban legend, as long as you visit 88 temples in Sasaguri Town, your wish will be fulfilled, and Nanzoin Temple is one of them.
When you walk from Minamizoin Station to Minamizoin, you will first see the Melody Bridge. As the name suggests, there are iron plates on the bridge, which will make sounds when you knock on them. You can knock out the hometown of Japanese nursery rhymes and the school of Metaka Fish. If you have the chance, you can try knocking. Not long after leaving the Melody Bridge, you will arrive at the entrance of Minamizoin.
A row of stone lanterns can be seen at the entrance of Nanzangyuan
When you go to the temple, you can see the 11-meter-tall "Great Sage Acala". Acala is known as the Buddha who protects mankind from disasters.
You don't have to pay for tickets. There are many shops selling local specialties on the way to the temple.
Nanzoin is really spacious. Because you need to walk a lot, it is recommended that you wear sports shoes. It is said that the red leaves in November are the most beautiful.
