Jōman-ji, Buddhist temple in Kaiyō, Japan
The temple buildings stand on a hillside position with mountains surrounding three sides, offering views over Kaiyō town and the ocean waters.
Founded in 1575, Jōman-ji holds the distinction of being the first Zen temple established in Shikoku, though its original structures were lost during wartime periods.
The resident monks maintain traditional Buddhist practices, following strict daily schedules while receiving guidance from Chief Priest Kouya Tamura.
Visitors support the temple through donations, which contribute to ongoing reconstruction efforts and maintenance of the religious buildings.
The temple benefits from having multilingual leadership, as the chief priest communicates in English and Korean, facilitating connections with international guests.
