Daigan-ji, Buddhist temple in Toyohashi, Japan

Daigan-ji is a Buddhist temple in Toyohashi comprising several traditional buildings arranged around courtyards and gardens in classic Japanese layout. The main hall houses sacred Buddhist sculptures and ritual spaces where ceremonies and personal devotion take place.

The temple was established to provide a meditation center for practitioners of Zen Buddhism and became a significant center of the Sōtō school over time. Its religious importance grew as it served multiple generations of devotees in the region.

The temple functions as a spiritual gathering place where visitors can observe monks and practitioners moving through their daily routines in the courtyards and halls.

The temple sits in a quiet residential area and is accessible on foot, with courtyards and gardens open for visitors to walk through and observe. Visitors are advised to move respectfully and watch for signs indicating when ceremonies or private practices are underway.

The buildings on the grounds display construction styles from different eras, offering a visual record of how Buddhist temple architecture evolved over centuries. These layered structures tell the story of ongoing renovation and adaptation across generations.
