Yesterday I rode my bicycle to Seiryu-Ji temple. This main temple was built relatively recently in 1992. It has one of the tallest wooden pagodas in Japan at 120 feet high. It also has one of the tallest statues of Buddha in Japan, it was built in 1984. The temple has two ponds, a large hidden bell that nearly gave me a heart attack when someone rang it without me realizing it, and two ponds one of which has a statue of Kobo-Daishi, the founder of a major sect of Japanese Buddhism.
