Koshu-ji, Buddhist temple in Minami-ku, Fukuoka, Japan
Koshu-ji temple features traditional Soto Zen Buddhist architecture with a prominent bell tower and main hall situated beneath Takamiya cavern in Fukuoka.
Founded in 1693 by priest Tando Chozen after relocating from Kumade Village, the temple underwent reconstruction following its initial destruction in its original location.
The temple grounds contain Anakannon, a circular tomb from the 6th century Kofun period, displaying remarkable stone chambers with Buddhist deity carvings.
Located at 2-22-11 Terazuka in Minami-ku, the temple welcomes visitors to explore its grounds, architectural elements, and historical monuments throughout the year.
The temple hosts annual memorial festivals every December 14th to commemorate the Forty-Seven Ronin, whose replica graves were established on site in 1935.
