Gakurin-ji, Buddhist temple in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.
The temple features a red five-story pagoda surrounded by gardens, with stone steps leading to the entrance of the main complex.
Founded in 724, Gakurin-ji holds significance as the 31st temple along the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage route spanning 1,400 kilometers across Shikoku Island.
Monju Bosatsu, the primary figure at Gakurin-ji, represents wisdom and draws students seeking success in their academic pursuits.
While access to the main grounds is free, visitors need to pay an entrance fee to explore the 14th-century garden registered as a National Place of Scenic Beauty.
The Chinese-influenced garden near the library follows specific design principles that maximize viewing perspectives from inside the building.
