Fukuju-ji, Buddhist temple in Nantan, Japan

The Fukuju-ji temple complex includes multiple buildings, such as the Buddha Hall, Bell Tower, and numerous gates spread across its grounds.

Founded in 1665 by Ogasawara Tadazane with guidance from Chinese monk Sokuhi Nyoitsu, the temple underwent reconstruction after the Summer War of 1866.

The temple functions as one of two funeral temples dedicated to Ogasawara Tadazane, the first daimyo of Kokura Domain, reflecting Japanese burial traditions.

Located at coordinates 35.109797 latitude and 135.521922 longitude, the temple maintains several structures for meditation and religious ceremonies.

The Buddha Hall exhibits Chinese architectural elements, rebuilt in 1802, representing the cross-cultural influence between Japan and China during Buddhism's spread.
