Nomiyama Kannonji’s Pagoda Opens for a Paid Special Visit!?

A Buddhist temple in Sasaguri is the setting for the Nomiyama Kannonji Temple Autumn Leaves Festival. The temple grounds are free to visit, so you can make the foliage your focus without an admission fee 😊

Visitors have described the temple as a peaceful place to take your time, and its autumn leaves are a draw in their own right. Give yourself room to explore the grounds at your own pace; the season’s colour is the reason to come.

There’s a separate way to add a temple landmark to your visit: the Yugi Pagoda has a special opening. It’s paid for adults, while children in middle school and younger can enter free. Keep that condition in mind as you plan, since it applies to the pagoda visit rather than the temple grounds as a whole 🏯

If you only have time for one thing, make the autumn foliage around the temple your pick; the festival centres on the leaves, and the grounds themselves are free to visit. If the pagoda interests you too, set aside room in your plan for its separately paid special opening.

You can reach the temple by car from Sasaguri Station, and the venue information also gives a driving route from the Fukuoka interchange. Choose your route before setting out so you know how you’ll get there 🚗

For the return trip, consider arranging a taxi in advance: visitors have noted that finding a ride back can take some planning. Sort out that part before you go, then head to Nomiyama Kannonji Temple and enjoy the autumn setting 🍂
