On January 19, we had decided to take a drive to see the Battleship/Gunkanjima Island in Nagasaki. As usual, we bought some "Pig" Chinese New year goods at Min-min boutique shop in Nagasaki Chinatown.
Before going to Gunkanjima, we went to Zuiko-ji (瑞光寺), a Buddhist temple of the Rinzai sect in Central
Ureshino. This temple was built by the Ureshino family of the
Nabeshima clan (perhaps?) who ruled the area during the
Muromachi period. Later it moved to the present location, and was used as a
Honjin (本陣) where only allow the Daimyos to stay in this place.
The entrance gate of Zuiko-ji.
Crossing the stone arch bridge, we'll see a
Sanmon or the temple gate.
Next to the temple gate, there is a 800 year-old camphor tree that grows straight up.
We saw the Jizodo prayer hall on the way.
The main temple.
A beautiful small garden and stone lantern in front of the main temple.
After that we went to a nearby spot,
Toyotamahime-jinja (豊玉姫神社) Shinto shrine.
