    古代から中世の当時の中国の王朝などの使者を接待する迎賓館の鴻臚館。海を越えてエンヤコラと来たのでしょう。現在は飛行機ですが結局遠い感じがします。

    能古島に行かれた場合は立ち寄ってみてもいい場所だと思います。これだけのために行く必要は無いけれど、島で時間をつぶすにはちょうど良い場所です。この島自体、季節によって雰囲気はかわるけれど何度も行くような場所ではないかと思います。

    地下鉄の藤崎駅の1番出口を出てすぐなのでアクセスはいいです。こじんまりとしていて、雨が降っていたせいもあって誰もおらず静かでしたが、庚申(かのえさる)の日には猿面を販売するそうで込み合うみたいです。魔が去るということみたいですが、あまり聞いたことなかったので地域色を感じました。

    山門では立派な仁王様が出迎えてくれます。一階に仏像が鎮座する本堂の背景には大圓寺の五重塔があり、このお寺の一部に見えます。大圓寺の五重塔を借景とし、すてきな写真が撮れること間違いなしです。

    17世紀の開山。福岡市では唯一の黄檗宗の仏教寺院。黄檗宗の開祖は隠元隆琦で江戸時代に始まったので禅宗の中でも比較的歴史が浅いとのこと。大通り(明治通り)に面していますが、門をくぐると境内はゆったりしており、落ち着いた雰囲気です。

    唐人町の中心とも言える黒門川通りから真っすぐ参道が伸びていて2階建の立派な山門が聳えています。ですが、訪問時は工事中なのか工事車両が境内に駐車しており、写真が写せませんでした。寺名の記された門柱も見つかられませんでした。号は瑞雲山で真宗東本願寺派の寺院です。福岡藩祖黒田如水ゆかりのお寺のようです。

    浄土宗の仏教寺院。こじんまりした山門ですが、境内は広々としてよく整備されていました。唐人町からの参道を突き当たってすぐ右に曲がり北側にの位置します。訪れた季節が冬の1月だったため、野鳥のシロハラ(ツグミの仲間)が落ち葉の裏側を探して地面を跳ねていて和みました。
