Fukō-ji, Buddhist temple in Bungoōno, Japan

The temple features a giant cliff-carved Fudo Myoo statue measuring 11.3 meters in height, accompanied by two guardian deities on both sides.

Established in the 6th century by Nira, who served the king of Baekje, the temple underwent destruction during the Toyotsu battle of 1586.

The temple belongs to the Koyasan Shingon Buddhist sect, with Dainichi Nyorai as its principal deity and regular religious ceremonies throughout the year.

The temple opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with parking facilities and restrooms available for visitors arriving from JR Asaji Station.

The temple grounds contain extensive hydrangea gardens, making it a designated stop on the Kyushu Olle Okubungo hiking course.
