Fudō-in

The Kondo Hall features traditional Zen architecture with a distinctive hip-and-gable roof covered in persimmon-colored tiles, transferred from Yamaguchi during the 16th century.

Originally established as one of the Ankoku-ji temples by the Ashikaga clan, the temple was reconstructed after being destroyed during the warring states period.

The temple houses numerous cultural assets including the seated Yakushi Nyorai statue from the late Heian period and the temple bell from the Muromachi period.

The temple grounds are accessible by a 2-minute walk from Fudoin-mae Station on the Astramline or a 10-minute drive from Hiroshima Interchange on the Sanyo Expressway.

The Kondo Hall, designated as a National Treasure, stands as the sole remaining national treasure building in Hiroshima after surviving the 1945 atomic bombing.
