Hakata Old Town

Fukuoka, Japan
Fukuoka, Japan
Another interesting roof top of a temple near Gion.
Dedicated to the Buddhist Saint Kukai, who built it in 806, Tocho-ji Temple is a contrast of old and new. Surrounded by apartment buildings and businesses, the temple cemetery holds the graves of past Lords dating back to the mid 1600’s. The Temple also has the largest seated wooden statue of Buddha in Japan.
Shofuku-ji temple, the first zen temple in Japan was founded in 1195. You may just glance Buddha statues over the fence of this hut. There are expanded site building but not open for the public.

위치가 좋아서 그런가 한국사람이 진짜 많았아요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 세탁실도 있고 짐 맡기는곳도 간편하고 좋았네요. 일본이라 방이 추울까봐 걱정했는데 방도 따숩고 좋았아요! 생각한것보다 룸사이즈도 좋아서 또오고싶네여!!
