The Fukuoka Great Buddha, the largest wooden seated statue in Japan

2 nights 3 days trip to Fukuoka
Day 2

The first temple opened in Japan by Kobo Daishi Kukai after he returned from China.

The largest wooden seated statue in Japan, the Fukuoka Great Buddha

Within the base of the Buddha, a tour of hell and paradise is set up, and beyond that is a pitch black passageway.

It is said that if you follow the handrail and touch the "ring of Buddha", you will go to paradise.

There is a beautiful five-story pagoda made entirely of pure cypress wood, a wooden standing statue of Thousand-Armed Kannon, a national important cultural property, and a hexagonal hall, a building designated by the city, so there is plenty to see.
