Nanzoin Temple in Fukuoka

Beautiful temple in the middle of nature. There are several paths leading to different altars. There's a train station nearby, but if you are driving, there is a big parking lot one street down - if the small parking lots in front of the temple are full. it's a 30-minute drive from downtown Fukuoka. It is possible to pay 500 yen and enter the Buddha statue. You also get to write a wish and give it for a monk's blessing. All instructions are in Japanese though. Make sure to wear knee length shorts or pants. Tatoos should also be covered. There's also a nice restaurant at the back of the souvenir shop at the bottom of the slope.
