Nanzoin: The Most Beautiful Temple You've Never Heard Of - 南蔵院●福岡県篠栗町 - Japan As It Truly Is
Nanzoin has Kyoto BEATEN COLD. It may not have its history, but it'd be very hard to find a prettier temple in Japan - and it's free!
Nanzōin is really so unknown that it should be classified a state secret. It's in Sasaguri Town, Fukuoka, and only about 20 minutes by train from Hakata Station. It offers a giant Manekineko Cat statue, countless small statues all with a different appearance, a giant menacing ogre, and the true gem, the Great Buddha, finished in 1995, that is reclining and is 41m long and 11m tall.
Few tourist experts have ever heard of Nanzoin. Few Japanese know of it either, actually. But it is a major temple among a pilgrimage route, and you can often see small groups of elderly going to pray there. It claims a million visitors a year, but that averages about 2700 people a day, and as you can see here at one of the best times to go, it was hardly crowded. Nevertheless, Nanzoin is one of the finest places in Japan you will ever visit.
Go and see it before the tourist books and guides find out about it and send the tourist hordes stampeding to it.
Hakozaki Shrine, Fukuoka ☆ 福岡筥崎宮 ☆ Japan As It Truly Is
Hakozaki is one of Japan's most historic shrines - first built in 923 AD, and with a lot of historic importance since it was burned to the ground during the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274. When rebuilt, Emperor Daigo wrote a message and it was fixed to the main shrine, 敵国降伏 (Tekikoku Kōfuku) which means 'Surrender of the enemy nation' as a message to any future invader. In fact, the Mongols tried to re-invade in 1281, but again failed.
There are also 2 big annual festivals, the Tamaseseri Festival on Jan 3rd and the Hojoya Festival on Sep 12--18 that draws huge crowds of people.

Japan Trip: Fukuoka/ Fukuoka Castle ruins,Maizuru Sakura Park Cherry blossoms Fukuoka04 Moopon
The ruins of Fukuoka Castle (福岡城跡, Fukuokajōato) are located in the middle of the city in Maizuru Park, named after the castle's alias, Maizuru Castle. During the Edo Period (1603-1867), Fukuoka Castle used to be the largest castle on Kyushu, but it was almost completely torn down after the Meiji Restoration as an unwanted symbol of the feudal past. Nowadays only ruined walls and a few turrets remain, and the park attracts visitors with walking trails and a few lookout points.
Fukuoka Castle was built in the beginning of the 17th century by Kuroda Nagamasa, who was appointed lord of the surrounding Chikuzen feudal domain (part of today's Fukuoka Prefecture) for his support of Tokugawa Ieyasu during the battle of Sekigahara. The Kuroda clan ruled from the castle for more than two centuries until the abolition of the feudal system in 1870.
The best time to visit the castle ruins is usually between late March and early April, when Maizuru Park turns into the city's most pleasant spot for cherry blossom viewing. A number of walking paths are lined with cherry trees so that visitors can walk through a tunnel of flowers, and there are also plenty of lawned areas for holding hanami parties under the blossoms.
Among the few surviving or reconstructed castle buildings are some gates and guard towers, scattered across the castle grounds. Parts of the moat system also remain, most noticeably on Maizuru Park's northern border and in form of the large lake at the center of the neighboring Ohori Park.
How to get there
The Fukuoka Castle Ruins can be reached in a 10-15 minute walk from Ohori Koen Subway Station.
