History
Seiryuujii stands in Honeyabakei-cho Imagyo, Nakatsu. This place, surrounded by the beautiful nature of Yabakei, has long been known as a place of practice. The 'Blue Dragon' is a divine beast that protects the east and symbolizes the power of clear water and abundant nature. Combined with the scenic beauty of Yabakei gorge, visitors can purify their body and mind in the midst of nature. In the grounds, which display beautiful scenery in each season, many people have offered gratitude for nature's blessings and Buddha's compassion. It is a sacred space enveloped in the spiritual energy of the mountain.
