Nature Stroll | Charming Sasaguri

We visited Nanzoin for the first time during the early fall in October. The season lasts roughly from mid September, through October and November, and into early December. Pleasant weather, cool but mild with magnificent and breathtaking view. So impressed by the beauty, the harmony of yellow, light green, orange and cardinal red of the maple and ginko trees. Particularly impressive is the foliage around Nanzoin, with a giant 41-meter bronze reclining in Buddha statue nestled in the mountains of Sasaguri. Suggest to visit during the morning. The weather was just perfect. Take time to stroll, from the train station crossing the melogy bridge and enjoy the tranquility and peacefulness of the temple, shrines and natural beauty. This charming city is definitely worth to visit and explore, you are sure to be awe-struck by its charm and good vibes. Highly recommended. Excellent visit. Note: There are few rules when visiting the Nanzoin, a sacred place of worship. Visitors are reminded to be quiet, not to eat or drink on the grounds and no selfie sticks. Entrance to the temple is free.
