    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Teramachi 4-32
    A Buddhist temple founded in 1620 by Chinese priest Shinen in prayer for the safe travels of traders sailing to and from Nagasaki. The main temple nave, a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, was rebuilt in 1883 by Chinese artisans and is purely Chinese in architectural style. The temple’s charms, made from water strainers, are said to bring the fulfillment of love as well as traffic safety. An eight-minute walk from the Kokaidomae stop on the tramway.

    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Chikugomachi 2-56
    A venerable Buddhist temple founded by a Tang dynasty Chinese priest and one of the Four Nagasaki Temples of Good Fortune. Prior to World War II, it was designated a Special Protection Building (equivalent to today’s National Treasure designation), but the original building was lost due to the atomic bombing. Thereafter, the temple’s great statue of Kannon was built in prayer for the happiness in the next life of those who died from the bombing as well as in the war. The Sakura-machi stop on the tramway is the closes stop to the temple. A 10-minute walk from JR Nagasaki Station.

    Fukusaiji is one of several Chinese temples in Nagasaki. But it is quite unique unlike other temples. There is a big statue of Guanyin Buddha standing on the back of a turtle. But it doesn’t seem to...

The main temple complex straddles the islands of Iki, Tsushima, and the Goto Islands and is part of a Japan Heritage listing. The temple was also patronized by the Goto clan, whose members served as lords of the local domain for generations. When the temple was visited by the great monk Kukai in 806, he christened it the ""Myojoan,"" meaning ""Morning Star Hermitage,"" after seeing a star at dawn. The head temple of Shingon Buddhism on the Goto Islands, the temple is also believed to be the oldest one on the archipelago.

    八坂神社の隣にある清水寺ということで京都を彷彿させる名称ですが、中国様式（黄檗様式）を取り入れた本堂となっており、中華街を擁する長崎らしさみ感じさせるお寺です。個人的には無縁ですが、安産祈願で有名との事で、いろいろ特徴あるお寺です。

Nagasaki Areas

around-area-map

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
