Fukukai-ji, Buddhist temple in Hyōgo, Japan

Fukukai-ji temple stands near the Hyōgo Daibutsu, featuring a main hall called Tsukinowa-eiden constructed in 1953 after the original structure was lost.

The temple was established in 805 by monk Saichō of the Tendai sect, who placed a self-made statue of Yakushi Nyorai in the temple hall.

This temple forms part of the Shin-saigoku Pilgrimage, a religious route connecting Buddhist temples across the region.

The temple underwent complete reconstruction in 1997 following the damage caused by the Great Hanshin earthquake of 1995.

The neighboring Hyōgo Daibutsu statue, rebuilt in 1991, measures 11 meters in height and weighs 60 tons.
