About This Destination
A temple on the Kunisaki Peninsula whose Odo hall, a national treasure, is one of the oldest surviving wooden buildings in Kyushu.
Fukiji is a temple in the Tashibu district of Bungo-takada, on the Kunisaki Peninsula. Its main hall, the Odo, is an Amida hall built in the Heian period and is one of the oldest surviving wooden buildings in Kyushu, designated a national treasure. It is counted among Japan's three great Amida halls alongside the Phoenix Hall at Byodo-in and the Golden Hall at Chuson-ji. The hall houses a seated image of Amida Buddha, and its interior once held wall paintings, now faded, of Buddhist paradise. The temple stands among tall trees reached by a stone stairway, and the grounds are known for autumn colour. Inside the hall cannot be viewed in rainy weather.
