Chikurizan Fukuji
〒879-6213 大分県豊後大野市朝地町上尾塚１２２５
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect located in Bungo-Ono City, Oita Prefecture. It is famous for its hydrangeas and is also known as the "Hydrangea Temple."
History
Legend has it that the temple was founded in the 6th century by a man named Ira, who was from Kyushu and served as a retainer to the king of Baekje. It declined after being destroyed during the Toyosato War in 1586, but was revived in the Edo period with the patronage of the Nakagawa clan, the feudal lords of the Oka Domain. In 1662, the temple's name was changed from its former title, which sounded like the word for "beast," to its current name.

What visitors say
Visitors are greeted by the overwhelming scale and mystical atmosphere of one of the largest rock-carved Buddhas in Japan. The grounds are well-maintained and offer many highlights, including carvings on the main gate, stone statues, and bronze stroking Buddhas. In mid-June, the temple is bustling with activity as the hydrangeas bloom. Since the path from the parking lot includes stairs, it is recommended to use the walkway if you have concerns about walking.
