Fukusai-ji, Buddhist temple from Three Chinese Temples in Nagasaki, Japan

The aluminum statue of Kannon stands 18 meters tall upon a turtle structure, forming the exterior of this reconstructed religious building.

Founded in 1628 by Chinese immigrants responding to Terauke-Seido law, the original temple received National Treasure status before its destruction in 1945.

The temple houses remains of 16,000 World War II victims in its mausoleum, creating a memorial space for reflection and remembrance.

Located at 2-56 Chikugomachi, the temple opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission and parking space for five vehicles.

A 25-meter Foucault pendulum swings inside the temple, while a bell rings daily at 11:02 AM to mark the atomic bombing time.

Inception: 1628
