What other travelers are saying about Tochoji Temple
This is a very sacred Buddhist temple with a Buddha on second floor. If you are Buddhist it is highly recommend. The exhibit underneath the statue was the first I had experienced. The shrine at the side of the main temple has big mala beads which you can touch for blessing.
A place under must go list if visit Fukuoka, Japan. A fee of 50 yen to visit the big Buddha upstairs indeed worth it, you can walk through the big Buddha base by a very narrow passage without any lighting. Viewing the hell and heaven which came from Buddhist scriptures "一念天堂，一念地獄”。
Peaceful and a beautiful landscape Buddhist temple in the city centre. There's a big Buddha statue on the upper floor with entrance fees required (50 yen). Behind the Buddha statue, there's a passage with total darkness to test yourself to find enlightenment to the exit. Quite interesting experience!
Must go!
Apart from the temple, some members of the Kuroda clan are buried there.
There’s a giant beautiful wooden Buddha statue amongst other smaller and historical statues.
- Small admission fee to see the Buddha.
- Under the statue there’s a tunnel where you can go through “from hell to heaven” path.
- unfortunately you’re not allowed to take pictures from the inside but I definitely recommend for you to see for yourself.
Peaceful place, beautiful 5 stories pagoda, and beautiful wooden Buddha' statue.
Taking stairs to the 2nd floor, if you would like to see beautiful wooden Buddha.
The fee is 50yen, worth it!
The statue took 4 years to crafted, masterpiece. No picture has been taken, not allowed. Personally it's understandable and I respect that.
The main entrance area with zen garden brings such a peaceful escape. If you walk toward the pagoda area, there would be graves of 3 shoguns.
