Lonely Planet review for Sōfuku-ji

An Ōbaku (the third-largest Zen sect after Rinzai and Sōtō) temple was built in 1629 by Chinese monk Chaonian. Its red entrance gate (Daiippo-mon) exemplifies Ming dynasty architecture. Inside the temple you can admire a huge cauldron that was used to prepare food for famine victims in 1681, and a statue of Maso, goddess of the sea, worshipped by early Chinese seafarers.
