観音寺, Buddhist temple in Teramachi district, Nagasaki, Japan.
Kofukuji Temple features red-painted buildings with Chinese architectural elements, including a prominent two-story entrance gate and multiple ceremonial halls.
Founded in 1620 by Ming Dynasty merchants as a prayer sanctuary, Kofukuji Temple became the first Chinese temple of the Obaku Zen sect in Japan.
The temple contains numerous Chinese-influenced structures, including the main Buddha Hall transported piece by piece from China in 1646.
Located near the Shiminkaikan tram station, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM with an entrance fee of 300 yen.
The temple houses a large glass lantern from China suspended from the main hall ceiling, representing the fusion of Chinese craftsmanship in Japanese religious architecture.
