蓮福寺, Buddhist temple in Matsuyama, Japan
The temple complex includes multiple halls, traditional gardens, and stone monuments displaying carved haiku verses by notable Japanese poets.
Founded in 668 during the reign of Empress Saimei, this temple marks the birthplace of Ippen, who established the Ji Buddhist sect in 1276.
The temple serves as a center for Buddhist practices, where monks conduct daily ceremonies and maintain traditional meditation routines throughout the year.
Located at 5-4 Dogo Yuzukicho in Matsuyama, the temple welcomes visitors interested in exploring its grounds and participating in religious ceremonies.
A devastating fire in 2013 destroyed the main building and valuable artifacts, including a wooden figure of Saint Ippen from the Muromachi period.
