Tochoji Temple
You’ll find Tochoji temple about a ten minute walk from Hakata Station. It’s a modern reconstruction of a long established temple and may not be much to look at on the outside but upstairs on the second floor is Japan's largest seated wooden Buddha, measuring 33 foot tall. I was particularly interested in the trip through the “Hells of Buddhism which starts in a small room just to the left of the Buddha. After viewing coloured reliefs of unfortunate souls burning in hell, being boiled alive and suffering all sorts of other tortures, I entered a darkened, twisting passageway and walked through it guided by a rail, whereupon I’d reached the end …and enlightenment! It's fun for older kids. Admission is free but no photographs are permitted. [more] |
