Ankokuji Fudo-in

広島市東区牛田新町3丁目4−9

4.3(303)

A Shingon Buddhist temple located in Higashi Ward, Hiroshima, housing the Kondo (Golden Hall), the only National Treasure in Hiroshima City. It boasts the largest scale among medieval Zen Buddhist halls, and the Sōmon (tower gate) and bell tower from the Muromachi period also remain.

History

Originally the Buddhist hall of Kōjakuji, a Zen temple founded by the Sengoku-period daimyo Ōuchi Yoshitaka, it was relocated to its current site during the Tenshō era by Ankokuji Keikyō. After Ankokuji Keikyō died in the Battle of Sekigahara, Fukushima Masanori installed a prayer monk at this temple, and it came to be known as Fudo-in, a Shingon temple enshrining Fudō Myō-ō as its principal deity.
