A hidden best temple in Japan: Fuki-ji

in #travel7 years ago

You might already know or even have visited some Japanese famous temples such as; Kinkaku-ji, Senso-ji, Todai-ji, etc.
Here I want to introduce my best temple! It is called Fuk-iji (富貴寺).

It is a beautiful symmetry golden temple. It is not a gorgeous temple as Kinkaku-ji but rigid and quiet. Through the year, there are not so many tourists. I strongly recommend visiting there in Autumn because, as you can see in the picture, the temple will be covered with colored leaves and it looks just beautiful.

  • Where is it?
    It is located on Kunisaki peninsular (国東半島) in Oita prefecture (大分県) in Kyushu island (九州).

  • What kind of temple is it?
    It is a Tendai school (天台宗) temple and has been started in 718. It is the oldest remaining wood-made building in Kyushu island. It was selected as a Japanese national treasure in 1952.
