Daigan-ji

Daigan-ji features a central main hall containing four Buddha statues, including a seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai created by monk Kobo Daishi.

The temple served as a construction management center for religious buildings until the Meiji Era, coordinating repairs and maintenance of multiple sacred structures.

The temple houses one of Japan's three principal Benzaiten figures, representing the Buddhist adaptation of the Hindu goddess Saraswati.

The temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours and access to the main prayer halls throughout the week.

The temple displays its Itsukishima Benzaiten figure only once per year during a special festival held on June 17th.
