- quote -
One of Japan's Three Major Prayer Spots on the Shikoku pilgrimage, Nanzoin Temple is the head temple of the Eighty-eight Hallowed Grounds of Sasaguri Shikoku and the first prayer spot for the Mount Koya Shingon Sect's Exceptional Head Temple.
Transferred from Wakayama Prefecture's Mount Koya, the temple features the world's largest lying bronze Buddha statue, "Nehanzou", completed in September of 1995.
Over one million people visit Nanzoin Temple every year.

The Many Faces of Fukuoka's Nanzoin Temple
Nestled on the side of a steep mountain hillside in the tiny village of Sasaguri, moss covered trails meander over babbling brooks and waterfalls and each turn in the path surprises with a new altar or Buddhist statue.
