Overview

Ubai-ji Temple is a temple with a long history dating back to the Edo period, serving as the family temple of the Arima clan, the feudal lords of Kurume. The first feudal lord, Arima Toyoshi, relocated Zuiigan-ji Temple from his former territory in Tanba Fukuchiyama and named it "Ubai-ji Temple" after his father's posthumous Buddhist name, "Ubaiin-den". Five mausoleums of successive Arima clan lords stand on the temple grounds, all designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan. Their architectural style is a valuable testament to the magnificent style of the Edo period, making it a must-see for history buffs. Ubai-ji Temple is also known for its beautiful scenery throughout the year. In spring, plum blossoms create a stunning landscape. In autumn, the vibrant autumn leaves offer a breathtaking view in a tranquil setting. Ubai-ji Temple is a captivating place, blending the serenity of a Zen temple with a historically significant atmosphere. Be sure to visit when you're in Kurume.
