A must see temple! Worth the travel from Fukuoka if you want a more genuine Japan experience as a tourist. This was such an incredible place surrounded by nature! One could easily spend a whole day here admiring the place. The reviews about the delicious ice cream are correct! Of course the main attraction here is the breath taking statue! I was hoping to get one of those books to get a calligraphy stamp but I didn't see any. If you have one, get a stamp here!

Not a far journey from Hakata station, so it is worth going to. It will only take a few hours out of your day. Google says the statue is only like a 5 minute walk from the statue, but that is not true . You have to watch though a cute little town and up a few flights of stairs. It's nice because it's free and very spiritually enriching
