Fukuzen-ji, Buddhist temple in Tomo-machi, Japan

The temple complex features a reception hall with tatami mats offering views across the Seto Inland Sea and Bentenjima island pagoda.

Founded in 950 during the Heian period by monk Kūya, the temple's reception hall dates from 1650 during the Edo Period construction phase.

The temple functioned as an official guest house for Korean diplomatic missions, facilitating exchanges between Japanese and Korean scholars of Chinese medicine.

The temple maintains daily operations from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM throughout the year, with an old telescope available for viewing marine activities.

Korean envoy Lee Bang Eun documented his 1711 visit by inscribing the title 'Taichōrō' on the reception hall, marking its diplomatic importance.
