最福寺, Buddhist temple in Kagoshima, Japan

Saifukuji is a single, independent temple of the Shingon tradition in the Hirakawa district of Kagoshima, on the slope of Mount Eboshi. Its main hall, the Daibutsuden, holds a wooden statue of Benzaiten made by the sculptor Matsumoto Myokei, 18.5 metres tall. The main image is a standing Fudo Myoo carved by the Kyoto sculptor Tanaka Fumiya.

According to its official temple tradition, Saifukuji was founded in the Muromachi period, but the present temple was established as a religious corporation in 1988 and effectively rebuilt in 1989 by its current abbot, Keikan Ikeguchi. Its main image, a standing statue of Fudo Myoo, was carved by the Kyoto sculptor Fumiya Tanaka.

The temple is a single independent establishment, not part of the Koyasan Shingon school; another Saifukuji of that school stands in Murasakibaru, Kagoshima. Its main image is a standing Fudo Myoo carved by the Kyoto sculptor Tanaka Fumiya, and the Great Buddha Hall holds a wooden Benzaiten 18.5 m tall made by Matsumoto Myokei.
