Fukuzen-ji, Buddhist temple in Tomo-machi, Fukuyama, Japan.
The Fukuzen-ji temple stands on Kaiganzan Senjyuin, with its Taichourou pavilion offering direct views over the Seto Inland Sea and Bentenjima island.
The temple traces its origins to 963 when Buddhist monk Kūya established it during the Heian period as part of the Shingon-shu Daikaku-ji branch.
Korean envoys visited the temple twelve times during the Edo period, with diplomat Lee Bang Eun declaring its view the finest in East Asia in 1711.
The temple opens at 8:00 AM and requires a 30-minute bus journey from Fukuyama Station to reach its location at Tomo-machi, postal code 720-0201.
The Taichourou Reception Hall contains an ancient telescope for visitors to examine the pagoda on Bentenjima island across the waters.
