Fuki-ji, Buddhist temple and National Treasure in Bungotakada, Japan
The main hall of Fuki-ji stands as a wooden structure featuring chamfered pillars, side beams, and a distinctive treasure-box style roof with traditional tiles.
Founded in 718 by the monk Nin'Mon, Fuki-ji represents the early spread of Buddhism across Japan and remains the oldest wooden building in Kyushu.
The temple houses a seated Amida Nyorai statue on a Shumidan altar, embodying the Buddhist architectural and religious traditions of the Heian period.
Visitors can reach Fuki-ji by taking a 30-minute car journey from Usa Station on the JR Kyushu Nippo Main Line or a 40-minute drive from Oita Airport.
The entire temple structure was crafted from a single kaya tree, demonstrating exceptional carpentry techniques from the 12th century.
