A Shingon Daikaku-ji school temple located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture. It features the 'Taichoro (Tide-Facing Tower),' which served as a reception hall for the Joseon Communication Envoys, and the 'Remains of the Joseon Communication Envoys,' designated as a National Historic Site.

History

This Shingon Daikaku-ji school temple is said to have been founded around 950 CE during the Heian period by Kuuya. During the Genroku era of the Edo period (around 1690 CE), the guest hall 'Taichoro (Tide-Facing Tower)' was constructed to serve as a reception venue for the Joseon Communication Envoys. It was named 'Taichoro' by Hong Gye-hee, the chief envoy of the Joseon Communication Envoys, and became a place for exchange with Japanese Sinologists and calligraphers.
