Miyajidake Shrine

Reviewed By kimitakas - Taichung, Taiwan

Miyajidake Shrine is know for its Hikari no Michi, a direct way from the coast to this shrine, through which the sunset can be observed twice a year without any hindrance. The Okunoin, subsidiary shrines, behind the main building, is also worth visiting.

Raizan Sennyoji Daihioin

Reviewed By 387freddiem - Fukuoka, Japan

Since my first visit, I am in love with this wonderful Temple that always takes me to a different era. It is situated in a hidden spot on a mountain with such a wonderful aura and peaceful architecture it is simply a place that I love to visit whenever I can. Definitely on NYE when you get some snow making it even more magical. For those who believe in luck ( I didn't) this place does it for me. Wishing to have financial success or hoping to get a healthy baby just a wish away! Crazy talk? Maybe but all I have wished for at this Temple came true!!! I won't go any further as I know how it sounds to someone who never had this type of experience. For the rest of you, you know what to do :)

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.

Nanzoin Shakaden Nokotsudo

Reviewed By pasherry

We rode the train from Hakata Station to this small town. There is a short walk to the base of the street leading up to the temple. There are stairs and roadways leading up but not too bad compared to other temples and there are shrines to stop at along the way. There are plenty of signs telling you about proper temple behavior and if you have tattoos you should cover them and also dress modestly. No photos are allowed of many of the statues but you can take photos of the reclining Buddha which is very impressive. We enjoyed exploring this sacred place, it was relatively uncrowded as no tour groups are allowed. Enjoy the serenity and spirituality of this place.
