Bandai-ji, Buddhist temple on cliff in Fukuyama, Japan.
The Kannon Hall of Bandai-ji Temple stands on a 20-meter cliff, offering clear views across the Seto Inland Sea and nearby islands.
Emperor Kazan established Bandai-ji in 992, and the temple received restoration work from feudal lord Mori Terumoto between 1570 and 1573.
The temple functions as a stop on the Setouchi 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, where visitors pray for safe sea travel and healthy children.
Access to Bandai-ji requires a 45-minute bus ride from Fukuyama Station, followed by a 10-minute walk, with admission costing 100 yen for adults.
The temple contains numerous votive tablets in the Kannon Hall, while its exterior features traditional lacquer coating that protects against sea winds.
