Zofukuji Temple (Furindera Temple)
Zofukuji Temple—otherwise known as “Furindera Temple”, meaning the “Wind Chime Temple”—is a Buddhist temple in the small, 300-person town of Odo.
In 2002, the temple became the first in Japan to receive wind chimes as donations after Zofukuji Temple’s chief priest answered the wishes of the younger generation to revitalize the Odo area. Over 7,000 of these wind chimes, known as Odo’s “Yumekake Furin Wind Chimes”, are enshrined within the premises as donations from pilgrims visiting from various regions around Japan.
The soothing ring of the chimes creates a truly mysical ambience you're encouraged to experience for yourself.
