*''Established: c. [[950]]''
*''Japanese'': 海岸山千手院福禅寺 ''(Kaiganzan Senjuin Fukuzenji)''
Fukuzen-ji is a [[Shingon]] Buddhist temple in [[Tomonoura]], [[Hiroshima prefecture]], famous for its Taichôrô guest room, which hosted [[Korean embassies to Edo]] on a number of occasions.
The temple was founded in the [[Heian period]], around [[950]].
In the [[Genroku]] era, around [[1690]], a guesthouse was constructed adjacent to, and attached to, the temple's ''hondô'' (main hall). The guestroom is in simple ''[[irimoya]]'' construction, with 11.8 meter beams, and a tiled roof.
[[Yi Bang-eon]], a member of the [[1711]] Korean mission to Edo, famously declared the view of the [[Inland Sea]] from the guesthouse to be the greatest in Japan. A member of the [[1747]] mission, [[Hong Kyung Hae]]<--洪景海-->, later composed a piece of calligraphy naming the guesthouse "Taichôrô," or "Tower Facing the Tides."
