📍 Fukuoka Prefecture Ogori City Nyoirinji Temple

From June to September, the wind chime festival! Photogenic spots

⊿ Location

There are more than 5,000 stone statues and figurines of frogs in the precincts, and it is popularly known as the "Frog Temple". In addition, at the "Wind Chime Festival" held from June to September, thousands of wind chimes are displayed to create beautiful sounds.

Nyoirinji Temple was founded in the first year of Tenpei (729), the height of the Nara period. It has a very deep history and is designated as a cultural property of Fukuoka Prefecture as a venerable temple.

The reason why there are so many frogs in the shrine seems to have started when the resident bought a frog figurine that he found at an antique shop when he traveled to China 25 years ago. 🐸
