Walking around the Sofukuji Temple in Nagasaki.
Sofukuji Temple (崇福寺, Sōfukuji) is a temple in Nagasaki belonging to the Obaku school of Zen Buddhism. Originally built in 1629 for Nagasaki's Chinese residents, the temple is constructed in a Chinese architectural style and feels somewhat different to other temples in Japan.
Sofukuji is built along the slope of a hill. At the bottom stands the temple's two-stories tall entrance gate, Ryugumon (lit. Gate of the Dragon Palace). Like the rest of the temple, it is painted bright red. The gate was originally built in 1673, but was destroyed several times by fire and storms before the most recent reconstruction was completed in 1849.
Located further up the hillside, the temple's inner grounds contain several halls and a number of impressive artifacts such as statues and a temple bell that dates to 1647. The Buddha Hall was designed and cut in China before the pieces were shipped to Nagasaki and erected here in 1646. It remains one of the oldest buildings in the city. There are multiple English descriptions around the inner grounds for visitors to peruse while exploring this atmospheric area.

4K 崇福寺 長崎市 Sofukuji Temple, Nagasaki Kyushu JAPAN
Sōfuku-ji 崇福寺 is an Ōbaku Zen temple that was built by the Chinese monk Chaonian in 1629 as the family temple of the Chinese from Fujian Province who settled in Nagasaki.
Two of its buildings have been designated as national treasures. The red entrance gate and other structures in the precincts are rare examples of the architecture of South China during the Ming dynasty. The goddess of the sea, Maso, is enshrined in the Masodo, along with other life-sized statues in the main hall. In the temple grounds is a large cauldron made by the resident priest Qianhai to cook gruel for people who were starving during the famine of 1681. The Chinese Bon Festival is held here from July 26 to 28 (by lunar calendar), with Chinese coming from all over Japan to participate in the ritual for the dead.

Nagasaki - Sofukuji Temple, 26 Martyrs of Japan statues and Meganebashi
Day 15 - Sofukuji Temple, and Meganebashi
After the Peace Park, we decided to visit some of the temples which Nagasaki is famous for. Unfortunately we were running behind time, so Sofukuji Temple was the only one we managed to see before closing time. The temple itself had a strong chinese influence, as with many others in Nagasaki. The graves at the back however was the most memorial part of Nagasaki. I was not sure if it was because of the gloomy weather, but there was a mysterious atmosphere when walking among the grave stones.
After visiting the temple, we wanted to go to the JR Nagasaki station to have dinner. While there, we decided to make a quick detour to the 26 Martyrs of Japan statue to have a look. The nearby church was the only church we visited in the whole trip to Japan.
When we returned to our accommodation, we did our laundry at a nearby store. We decided to kill some time by going to the nearby Meganebashi bridge (literally Spectacles Bridge). It is given that nickname as the reflection of the bridge in the water makes it look like Spectacles...I'll leave your imagine to run wild on this.

NAGASAKI - Confucius Shrine
First built in 1893 by Chinese residents of Nagasaki with the support of the Qing Dynasty government, the shrine was designed to serve as a place of worship and learning for the Chinese community, and housed a Confucian sanctuary and primary school. The buildings were severely damaged by the atomic bomb explosion on August 9, 1945 and were not restored and opened to the public until September 1967. The shrine was extensively renovated in 1982. Standing outside the shrine are 72 statues representing the 72 followers of Confucius.
Today the land on which it stands is owned by the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo.
Nagasaki Highlight - Glover Garden Tour (4K)
The beautiful Glover Garden was the highlight of our Asia cruise stop in Nagasaki, Japan. Beautiful flowers, including cherry blossoms, tulips and Wisteria Floribunda, were abundant on the grounds of the former home of Thomas Glover. Glover Garden park is perched on a hill with a great view of the Nagasaki skyline and the cruise terminal where we walked from. We definitely recommend visiting this attraction when you are in Nagasaki! As a bonus, we some some clips of us getting back to the cruise terminal, and passing by other attractions such as Oura Cathedral & Inori-No-Oka Picture Book Museum.
This was from our 14 day Asia cruise in 2018 aboard the Majestic Princess cruise ship.

Kakure nenbutsu , or hidden Amida Buddhism, was a form of Jōdo Shinshū Buddhism secretly practiced on the Japanese island of Kyushu, in the Hitoyoshi Domain and Satsuma Domain, during a period of religious persecution from 1555 to the declaration of freedom of religion during the Meiji Restoration.Because it became a secret lineage, some kakure nenbutsu lineages continued into the mid-20th century.The kakure nenbutsu era began with the ikkō-ikki, violent uprisings of peasants encouraged and organized by the leadership of Shinshū splinter group Ikkō-shū.The ikkō-ikki were part of a period of political instability in Japan and the threat they posed to leadership was very real.
