Zen Bussharito – A Sacred Summit Sanctuary #A Serene Jewel Above the Clouds Perched atop Mount Ogi, the gleaming white "Zen Bussharito Temple" is a beacon of tranquility, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Saga Plain. This sacred retreat is a symphony of calm - serene, uplifting, and spiritually refreshing. The temple’s radiant presence can be seen from miles away, drawing visitors into its meditative embrace.

Four exquisitely crafted "Buddha statues" grace the temple’s summit, each radiating divine serenity. Standing among them, you’ll feel a profound sense of peace as the wind whispers through the mountain air.

#The Journey Upward -Entrance: The ascent begins at "Green Park", where a wide, winding road leads you upward. While driving is convenient, 'walking' is the true pilgrimage - each step along the curling path immerses you deeper into an almost "dreamlike atmosphere". If you venture alone, the misty silence may feel 'eerie' yet 'enchanting', as if stepping into a hidden realm. As you near the summit, the sweeping vistas unfold, rewarding your climb with jaw-dropping scenery.

##Parking: No parking is available at the peak, but "Green Park’s free lot" at the base provides a convenient starting point.

Final Thoughts: An "must-visit" - Zen Bussharito is more than just a temple; it’s a soul-stirring experience. Whether you seek spiritual solace, stunning landscapes, or a peaceful escape, this mountaintop sanctuary delivers. Worth every moment.

ここは前々から気になっていた場所です。久留米市の長門石橋、豆津橋からは僅かながら微かに見えます。みやき町〜神埼市(川久保線か江見経由)にかけては微かに見えます。佐賀駅から家まで歩いて帰る時、高架下を通っているとはっきりと見えています。ここまで来る道は離合しにくいし石や枝木が散らかっている状態です。駐車場はここから少し下った位置にありますが、南側から来るとき、急な坂なので油断していると入口に一本の木があり、後退し過ぎるとぶつかりそうになりますので注意してください。仏舎利塔は日蓮宗の寺院なので我が家の宗派とは無関係ですが、東西南北４箇所にお釈迦様のレプリカならぬ像があります。見るだけでも美術鑑賞ができました。展望を楽しむ他、撮り鉄にも最適です。周囲は公園だったようで、もう少し整備し直して欲しいです。案内看板も古く、遊具施設もないのにあるように書いてあるし、トイレもないのにトイレと書いてあったり、周囲は殺...
