Walking temple tour in Teramachi, Kurume, part 2

After that we went to Tokuun-ji (徳雲寺), a Rinzai temple. As we know the Buddhist temples in Japan are usually very small, but here it is too big. They have a huge temple building and a lawn garden with pine trees.

The grave of Den Inoue, the founder of Kurume Kasuri traditional clothes, is in the ground of the temple.

The Kannon bosatsu statues at the back of the main temple.

Going back to the street and turn right at the next corner, we saw the sanmon temple gate of Hensho-in (遍照院).

The grave of Takayama Hikokuro (高山彦九郎) at the entrance of graveyard.

 A Japanese garden near the cemetery. It's a free of charge, you go there and relax your mind.

Shorin-ji (少林寺), a Renzai temple, is located next to the above-mentioned Hensho-in temple and garden.

A rock garden with pine trees is beautiful.

Finally we went to Io-ji (医王寺), a Shingon temple.

A wisteria tunnel and the statue of Kukai in the background.
