Rakan-ji (羅漢寺) Temple, Nakatsu, Oita

Day tripping to Rakan-ji Temple in Nakatsu City, Oita on 25 August 2011. As usual, my mother drove me all time.

Summery
Rakan-ji is a Sōtō temple in Nakatsu, Oita Prefecture, Japan. The temple stands on the mountainside of Mt. Rakan, the rocky cliff of which has countless mouths of caves. The main gate and the main hall stand directly in the rocky cliff. In the caves, over 3,700 stone Buddhas are enshrined.
The temple was established in 1337, but it was destroyed by fire in 1943. The present main hall was reconstructed in 1969.
