Rurikoji Temple

Temple
This Soto Zen Buddhist temple was founded in 1471. It was reportedly built by Sue Hirofusa's wife to honor him after his passing. Originally called Anyoji Temple, the name later changed to Rurikoji Temple. It was relocated to its present spot in 1604 from Nihotakano in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The five-story pagoda on the precincts is considered to be the tenth oldest outdoor structure in Japan. There are also many historic spots from the time of the Meiji Restoration, like the tomb of Mori Takachika, the feudal lord during the period.
