Bairin-ji, Buddhist temple in Kurume, Japan
The Bairin-ji temple stands on an elevated area near the Chikugo River, featuring traditional architecture with a karamon gate adorned with detailed relief work.
Originally known as Zuigan-ji in Tanba-Fukuchiyama, the temple moved to Kurume in 1620 when Lord Toyoji Arima relocated it along with his father's remains.
The temple maintains a collection of 600 artifacts, including a Shaka Sanzon silk scroll, paintings by Korin Ogata, and screens by Tohaku Hasegawa.
Located five minutes from Kurume Station, the temple provides meditation sessions and allows visitors to participate in daily activities with resident monks.
Five memorial chapels constructed between 1630 and 1655 house the remains of the Arima clan daimyo, earning National Important Cultural Property status in 2018.
