Description

Chinkokuji's Main Hall is called the Five Buddha Hall because it houses images of Yakushi Nyorai, Dainichi Nyorai, Shaka Nyorai, Amida Nyorai and Nyoirin Kannon Bosatsu. All five are designated cultural properties of Fukuoka Prefecture. The present hall was rebuilt in 1650 by the Fukuoka domain lord Kuroda Tadayuki. According to the temple, visitors may enter the inner sanctuary and view the statues close at hand. It is a rewarding place to compare different Buddhist images in one worship space.
