Foreiner's group cannot enter our temple. Selfie stick can not be used. Keep quiet. URL on this tripadviser is not ours.
Just less than an hour by train from Hakata station and take a few minutes walk. The recline buddha is located on the hill which takes few steps from ground. There are also a small waterfall, a giant statue, many small buddha Statues to see. No entree fee.

It is an old house of Ito Denemon, who made a big fortune by running canon mines. Due to its location, it is not as touristic as Mojiko Retro, but it is absolutely worth visiting even spending one day for its excursion. I cannot understand the architecture well, but the mixture of Japanese and Western styles is very impressive. The garden is also pleasant. It is not an old temple in Kyoto, but you can discover another kind of Japanese beauty.

Ever since visiting Mojiko in April 2018 and seeing the Station building shrouded in scaffolding, undergoing restoration, I expressed a desire to return one day when the work was completed. 18-months on, I got the opportunity whilst staying in Kokura to make a fleeting visit to Mojiko to view the result of the lengthy Restoration Project. The facade of the Neo-Rennaissance building (built 1914) has been restored to its' former glory and brought bang-up to the 21st Century with the inclusion of modern ticketing facilities and a Starbuck's to boot. With the dimly lit period wooden canopies over the Station Platforms, all that's missing from this iconic scene is an original locomotive idly discharging clouds of steam!
