Confucius Shrine, Nagasaki, Chinese temple in Nagasaki, Japan
The Confucius Shrine features yellow-roofed buildings with 72 stone statues of disciples weighing two tons each along the courtyard path.
Chinese residents of Nagasaki constructed this temple in 1893 with support from the Qing dynasty government, and restored it in 1967 after wartime damage.
The main hall contains a seated statue of Confucius, while the rear museum displays Chinese artifacts, pottery, sculptures, and traditional artworks.
Located near Ouratenshudo tram stop on line 5, the shrine opens daily from 9:30 to 18:00 with a 660 yen entrance fee covering both temple and museum.
The temple displays more than 16,000 characters from The Analects of Confucius carved into marble imported from Hualien, Taiwan.
