Kanzeon-ji Temple

This famous Buddhist temple is home to the oldest temple bell in Japan, which is also a National Treasure. Completed in 746, the temple was once comprised of numerous temple halls as a key temple in Kyushu, but today only two halls, built in the early Edo period, remain. The temple houses numerous precious Buddhist statues designated as Important Cultural Properties that were created between the Heian and Kamakura periods. A 14-minute walk from Nishitetsu Gojo Station.
