Nyoirinji Temple
Discover the unique charm of Nyoirinji Temple, also known as Ruyilun Temple, a hidden gem nestled in the quiet countryside of Ogōri, Fukuoka Prefecture. With a history spanning over 1,300 years, this serene Buddhist temple is best known for its quirky and delightful collection of over 5,000 frog figurines from around the world, earning it the nickname “Kaeru-dera” or “Frog Temple.”
Dedicated to Nyoirin Kannon, the deity of compassion and wish fulfillment, the temple offers a peaceful escape surrounded by seasonal beauty—from blooming hydrangeas in early summer to vibrant foliage in autumn. Visitors often come to pray for safe returns, as the word "kaeru" (frog) also means "to return" in Japanese, symbolizing safe journeys and good fortune.
Whether you’re drawn by its spiritual significance, playful frog statues, or scenic tranquility, Nyoirinji Temple offers a memorable experience rich in history, culture, and charm.
