I would like to introduce you to the Frog temple.
The Frog Temple 〜 かえる寺 〜 【おごおりチャンネル】
Nyoirinji Temple, known as “Frog Temple”, is located in Ogori, Fukuoka. Over 5,000 frogs are welcoming you. You can also enjoy the beautiful hand painted ceiling.
Today is the last day of our Kyushu trip. I planned to go to the temples and this Frog Temple is our first stop for today. Because our JR Pass was expired so today we will travel only in FUkuoka city. I calculated how much we have to pay if we travel by the local train. It was not over the price of Fukuoka one day pass so we decided not to purchase that pass. We start from Hirao station which is the nearest station from our apartment. Then we took the Nishitetsu local train to Mitsusawa station after that we walked to the temple. We found that not many people in the temple today which was good. I was so impressed by the little colorful bells that people was put them on the roof, paying for their summer time.
In the precincts of Nyoirin Ji in Fukuoka Prefecture Ogori City, everywhere in there are statues of the frog, and it is popular is called the frog temple. Such as the pattern of the Waniguchi-bell on the main hall and the grass of the shadow, it is one of the fun, even to find a frog hidden in places.
