Japan Travel: An Abundance of Nature and History at Rurikoji Temple in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan
【017】 Yamaguchi Rurikoji Temple
Rurikoji (瑠璃光寺), Japan’s national treasure, is a Buddhist temple in Yamaguchi City, best known for its five-storied pagoda. Built in 1442, the Rurikoji’s pagoda is ranked among Japan's three greatest pagodas. The other two pagodas which share this honor are of the Horyuji Temple near Nara and Daigoji Temple in Kyoto.
Kozan Park (香山公園) is the common name for the temple grounds of Rurikoji. Kozan Park also houses the main hall, a temple storehouse, a bell tower and a small but thorough museum. The museum displays pictures and miniature models of the fifty-plus five-storied pagodas in Japan. Though limited in its English explanations, the museum provides interesting information about the pagodas such as their differences in design.
Kozan Park also houses the burial site of members of the Mori Clan, a powerful clan who ruled this region during the Edo Period (1603-1867). The Ugisubari Stone Pavement leads visitors to the burial grounds. The pavements produces an echoed sound when one clap one’s hands or stomps ones feet. The echoed sound resembles the noise made by a Japanese Bush Warbler (uguisu) which is how the pavement received its name.
Also in the park stands Chinryutei, a famous tea house in history. It was here Saigo Takamori and others pretended to practice the tea ceremony, while in reality the plotted the successful overthrow of the Edo Shogunate. This led to the Meiji Restoration and the end of Japan's feudal age in 1868. Admission into Chinryutei is free and visitors can view its simple tatami mat rooms on the second floor. On the first floor are some displays in Japanese about the key members of the Meiji Revolution.

Wisata Jepang : Kuil Rurikoji bersejarah di taman Kozan, Yamaguchi - Jepang. 017
Wisata Jepang : Kuil Rurikoji bersejarah di taman Kozan, Prefektur Yamaguchi, Jepang
Rurikoji (瑠 璃 光寺), harta nasional Jepang, adalah kuil Budha di Kota Yamaguchi, terkenal dengan pagoda tingkat lima. Dibangun pada 1442, Pagoda Rurikoji termasuk diantara tiga pagoda terbaik di Jepang. Dua pagoda lainnya yang sama pentingnya berada di Kuil Horyuji dekat Nara dan Kuil Daigoji di Kyoto.
Taman Kozan adalah nama biasa untuk Kuil Rurikoji berada. Taman Kozan juga memiliki aula utama, gudang kuil, menara bel dan museum kecil yang teliti. Museum ini memajang gambar dan miniatur model 50 plus pagoda tingkat 5 di Jepang. Walaupun terbatas dalam penjelasan Bahasa inggris, Museum ini menyediakan informasi menarik mengenai pagoda seperti perbedaan dalam desainnya.
Taman Kozan juga merupakan tempat penguburan anggota dari klan Mori, klan paling kuat yang mengatur wilayah ini selama Jaman Edo (1603-1867). Trotoar Batu Ugisubari mengantarkan pengunjung kelahan pemakaman. Trotoar ini menghasilkan suara gema ketika bertepuk tangan atau melangkahkan kaki. Suara gema ini menyerupai kebisingan yang dibuat oleh Burung Pengicau Jepang (uguisu) yang akhirnya menjadikan nama untuk trotoar ini.
Di taman juga berdiri Chinryutei, rumah teh terkenal dalam sejarah. Disini Saigo Takamori dan yang lainnya berpura-pura berlatih upacara minum teh, yang pada kenyataannya rencana ini berhasil menjatuhkan Keshogunan Edo. Hal ini mengantarkan pada Restorasi Meiji dan akhir dari jaman feudal Jepang pada 1868. Tiket untuk masuk ke Chinryutei gratis dan pengunjung bisa melihat ruang karpet tatami sederhana di lantai dua. Di lantai pertama ada beberapa ajangan dalam bahasa Jepang mengenai anggota inti dari Revolusi Meiji.
