DescriptionThe Great Buddha Hall of Hosenji, a temple restored by the Sengoku-period warlord Ryuzoji Takanobu, houses a wooden seated Birushana Buddha approximately 3 m tall. Saga Prefecture's official tourism guide highlights it as one of the temple's principal attractions. Hosenji also preserves a wooden seated Eleven-faced Kannon as its principal image and stone statues of the Sixteen Arhats in its grounds, which include Ryuzoji Takanobu's grave. Visitors should confirm when and under what conditions the Great Buddha Hall may be entered.
