Buzō-ji, Buddhist temple in Chikushino, Japan.

Located at the foot of Mount Tenpai, Buzo-ji Temple features multiple traditional halls including Kannon Hall, Jizo Hall, and Daikoku Hall with ancient stone statues.

Founded during the Asuka period, Buzo-ji Temple stands as Kyushu's oldest Buddhist site, with archaeological discoveries confirming its existence since the 11th century.

The temple holds the annual Jizo-e ceremony commemorating Fujiwara no Toramaro, who established the temple after receiving blessings for children at its Yakushi Hall.

Visitors can reach the temple within 15 minutes on foot from JR Futsukaichi Station or 20 minutes from Nishitetsu Futsukaichi Station in Fukuoka Prefecture.

The temple grounds contain a 700-year-old wisteria tree, planted in honor of the Fujiwara clan, and a waterfall where scholar Sugawara no Michizane purified himself.
