The Reclining Buddha at Nanzo-in

by touristinjapanupdated on April 28, 2018April 28, 2018Leave a Comment on The Reclining Buddha at Nanzo-in

By far, the main attraction at Nanzo-in temple is the huge reclining Buddha statue. This is what attracts most people, and admittedly the statue was also what attracted me in the first place, though Nanzo-in has many other things to offer (see my post about Nanzo-in).
