Tochoji Temple (東長寺）, Fukuoka City

Tochoji Temple　 (東長寺） is located in the Fukuoka city of Hakata ward in the Kyushu region. Tochoji temple is a city temple, as you can see by the residential buildings located around it.

Tochoji Temple was founded by Monk Kobo Daishi Kukai (founder of Shingon sect of Buddhism) in 806 AD after his return from China. Monk Kukai went to China to study Buddhism from the Chinese Buddhist Scholars.

This temple has a large Buddha hall on the first floor, which houses the largest wooden statue of seated Buddha in Japan, known as the "Great Buddha of Fukuoka". Unfortunately I am not allowed to video tape it, so there is no footage of it in this video.
