Kenchū-ji, Buddhist temple in Fukuyama, Japan.
The temple structures of Kenchu-ji incorporate traditional Japanese architectural elements with a main hall and surrounding meditation gardens within the complex.
The temple gained influence during the Muromachi period through Kenchu Keimitsu's diplomatic missions to China, establishing formal trade relations with the Ming Dynasty.
The temple served as a crucial intermediary for Japanese-Chinese relations, managing the tally trade system that controlled merchant access to Chinese markets.
Visitors can reach the temple grounds through local transportation services from Fukuyama Station, with guided tours available upon advance reservation.
The temple maintained control over international commerce through specialized certificates that granted exclusive trading rights between Japan and China.
