Ryuguji (Jodo Sect)
福岡市博多区冷泉町４−２１
A Jodo sect temple located in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, enshrining the Holy Kannon as its principal image. It is also known as the place where the renga poet Sosei stayed and composed the Hakata Hyakunin.
History
The founding year is unknown. It was originally established on the seaside at the Sode port, where it was called the Floating Hall due to the tides. It was renamed Ryuguji when a mermaid that appeared at Hakata Port in the first year of the Joo era was buried within the temple grounds. The temple was rebuilt at its current location in 1599 (Keicho 5) by Hon'ei Rikaku.

What visitors say
During nighttime light-up events, the entire temple grounds are enveloped in a fantastical and mystical atmosphere. Despite being in an urban setting, the space evokes a sense of history, featuring concrete structures and the Mermaid Mound associated with local legends. Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seal stamps) and mermaid omamori (protective charms) can be received at the office, but visitors should note the status of parking availability and Goshuin reception.
