Located between the Chikugo River and Kurume Station, a sign for Bairin-ji directed me when I was on my way to the station. I went there through the underground tunnel, as the location is not on the main street to the station. The temple is not very big and gets few visitors. This made it very easy for me to take some great photos of the sakura.
