Sofukuji Temple, Nagasaki – 崇福寺●長崎市 – Japan As It Truly Is

Sofukuji temple is often overlooked in the stampede for Peace Park and Glover Garden, but really shouldn’t be. It looks a bit weathered because it is – a 1629 Ming Dynasty Zen temple and one of the finest examples of architecture from its period – even in China there are few surviving places that surpass it. Its existence testifies to the presence and influence of the Chinese residents in Nagasaki. It’s closest to the Shokaku-ji or Shianbashi streetcar stops.
