Address: 7-1 Kozancho, Yamaguchi, 753-0081, Japan.
Getting there: Rurikoji stands about 2.5 kilometers north of Yamaguchi Station and can be reached on foot or by rental bicycles.
Highlights: Rurikoji is a Buddhist temple in Yamaguchi City, best known for its five-storied pagoda that is a national treasure. It is built in 1442, and the pagoda is justifiably ranked among Japan's three greatest, alongside those of Horyuji Temple near Nara and Daigoji Temple in Kyoto. Interestingly, the pagoda predates Rurikoji as an institution, which was established only in the late 1400s.😁
There is also a pagoda museum which provides interesting information about the pagodas such as their differences in design, but has limited English explanations. 😬
