The head temple of Zenshu Oubakushu, which was opened by a Chinese monk named Ingen in 1661.
Fucha dishes, with more than 300 years of history, are very popular.
Obakusan Manpuku-ji was founded by Ingen Ryuki, a Chinese monk, in 1661. In its huge precincts, Unsuis (buddhists who train themselves with severe principles) can still be seen training today. Standing side by side to the east and the west, Manpuku-ji has characteristics of a Chinese Zen temple from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The buildings of Manpuku-ji follow a temple layout that incorporates elements of the Chinese Ming Dynasty style. There are no other examples in Japan of temples that have preserved their original appearance since their founding, and as a representative example of Zen Buddhist temple architecture, the main structures, including 23 buildings, corridors, and plaques, have been designated as Important Cultural Properties. In December 2024, the three buildings—"Hattou", "Daiouhouden", and "Tennouden" —were designated as National Treasures.
Manpuku-ji's specialty, Fucha cuisine—a Chinese-style Buddhist vegetarian food—is renowned not only for its visually stunning presentation but also for its high-protein, low-calorie, and nutritionally balanced qualities, making it a popular choice among visitors.
