| For a brief time in the early [[Edo period]], Tomo was also home to a designated inn maintained by the factor of the [[British East India Company]] based in [[Hirado]]. When Korean missions stopped in Tomonoura on their way to and from Edo, the Korean lead envoy typically stayed in a guest room at the Buddhist temple of Fukuzen-ji<!--福善寺-->; the guest room was known as Taichôrô (対潮楼), and is said to have offered a beautiful view of the Inland Sea. Many plaques, works of calligraphy, and the like given as gifts from Korean envoys remain in the temple's collection today. | | For a brief time in the early [[Edo period]], Tomo was also home to a designated inn maintained by the factor of the [[British East India Company]] based in [[Hirado]].
