    Koryuji Temple

    18 oktober 2023, Japan ⋅ 🌙 55 °F

    We dropped by Koryuji Temple in Hakodate today. Established in 1633, this is the oldest Buddhist temple on Hokkaido.

    “Koryuji” translates as “high dragon temple.” The gates feature intricate wood carvings.

    Several famous Japanese are buried on the grounds, including the famous Haiku master, Basho. Even I have heard of him!

    There was also a memorial for a samurai. I will have to do more research on that. I also need to find out why so many Buddha statues have red scarves around the neck.

    So much to learn!
