Tsukushizan Fukoji Temple, located in Bungo-Ono City's rich natural valley, is a highly prestigious, sacred ancient sanctuary famously known for the magnificent "Fukoji Magaibutsu" (Immovable Wisdom King statue) carved directly into grand rocky walls, boasting Japan's largest scale in height. The massive Buddha statue reaching about 11 meters high is grand, and stepping inside the sanctuary wrapped in deep forest silence lets you feel a divine atmospheric flow that cleanses the heart from the core. Also famous as a "Hydrangea Temple" where tens of thousands of vivid hydrangea flowers bloom in full glory across the precinct in early summer, the intensity of history weight and nature's beauty harmonize perfectly, shaking travelers' souls. Quietly pray and purify your soul.
