普門院, Buddhist temple in Yonezawa, Japan

The Fumonin Temple, established by Priest Eikei in 853, stands along the former main road connecting Yonezawa to Edo in Yamagata Prefecture.

After a fire destroyed the temple in 1796, the current structure was rebuilt and later designated as a National Historic Site in 1935.

The temple preserves the room where Lord Uesugi Harunori welcomed his mentor Hosoi Heishu, along with original teaware and wooden buckets from their meeting.

Visitors can reach the temple within 10 minutes on foot from Sekine Station, with parking facilities available near the premises.

The temple displays the Ichiji Ichirui monument, which contains inscribed letters documenting the relationship between Lord Uesugi and his teacher.
