[Nara] A temple that houses the world's largest Fukutora statue, measuring 6 meters in length
📍 Shigisan Chogosonshiji Temple, Nara (Shigisan Chogosonshiji)
When you arrive at Chogosonshiji Temple, the head temple of Bishamonten, located deep in the mountains of Mt. Ikoma, you will find the world's largest lucky tiger near the entrance.🐯🐯The giant "world's largest lucky tiger" is 6 meters long!
The way it swings its head back and forth is said to bring the good fortune of "a good neck (never lacking anything)"💫↑Yes, this tiger's neck can actually move!
Does it bring happiness? It is also said to be a tiger postbox 📮 (apparently a tiger postmark was put on it during the year of the tiger) This temple enshrines Bishamonten, the god of war, as its principal deity, and since it has a history of praying for victory in battles and the tiger is the guardian deity, it seems that Hanshin Tigers players and fans also come here to pray for victory! 😌
There are many good luck prayer spots, such as the Good Luck Bridge and the Good Luck Bungee Jump💛
The grounds are large, so we recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes👞
Add excitement to your daily life:🌙
