Traveler highlights
Nanzoin in Sasaguri is the head temple of the Sasaguri Shikoku 88-temple pilgrimage. Its grounds include the main hall, Daishi Hall, and Daikoku Hall, as well as a 41-meter-long bronze reclining Buddha. The figure’s immense scale and peaceful face can be viewed from its feet upward. A Buddhist relic presented by Myanmar’s Buddhist community is enshrined inside the statue. Visitors can walk among the halls and learn about the temple’s connection to the pilgrimage. Nanzoin received official recognition in 1899; the reclining Buddha and temple buildings are central to a visit.
