対潮楼（たいちょうろう）って結局どんな場所？と聞かれたら、私は「“景色を見に行くための建物”として完成度が高すぎる場所」と答えます。福禅寺の客殿で、窓がまるで額縁みたいに瀬戸内海の青と島々（仙酔島・弁天島・皇后島）を切り取ってくれるので、部屋に入った瞬間に視線が全部外へ持っていかれました。赤い絨毯の室内越しに海が見える構図も写真映えしやすく、「福禅寺 対潮楼 景色」で探して来る人が多いのに納得。 「日東第一形勝」はどこ？という疑問は、現地に行くとすぐ腑に落ちます。“日東＝日本”で「日本で一番すばらしい景観」という意味だそうですが、対潮楼はまさにその称賛が生まれた場所。案内板でも「日東第一形勝」の由来に触れられるので、景色だけで帰るのはもったいないです。私は先に由来を読んでから座って眺めたら、“ただ綺麗”から“一段深い感動”に変わりました。 坂本龍馬ゆかりの「いろは丸事件」の話も、海を見ながらだと一気にリアルになります。タイミングが合うと、窓の外を「平成いろは丸」の船が通ることもあって（私は遠目に見られました）、鞆の浦と対潮楼の歴史が線でつながる感じがしました。 もうひとつおすすめが写経体験。絶景が見える写経道場で机と筆記用具が用意されていて、静かに集中できます。私は混んでいる日に当たって少し待ち、トータルで40分くらい見ておくと安心でした。書いたものは持ち帰りもできるし、まとめて奉納も選べるので、旅の記念が“物”だけじゃなく“体験”として残ります。 アクセス面で大事なのが駐車場。福禅寺には専用駐車場がないので、近隣パーキング利用になります。週末や祝日は埋まりやすいので、少し離れた場所に停めて鞆の浦の細い路地を散策しながら向かうのが結果的に楽でした（レトロな町並みも見どころ）。 最後に、対潮楼をより楽しむコツは「時間帯」。日中の青い海も最高ですが、光が傾く時間は海の色が変わって写真もドラマチック。混雑が気になる人は、開館直後を狙うと室内でも落ち着いて“日東第一形勝”を堪能しやすいです。
