Daichū-ji

The temple grounds contain carved stone steps, a traditional cooking stove, and an ancient wisteria tree growing without visible roots.

Founded in 1489 by Koyama Naritoku, Daichū-ji became a spiritual center where priests practiced meditation and offered guidance to local communities.

The temple holds seven traditional horror stories, including the tale of a priest who transformed into an ogre before finding redemption through Buddhist teachings.

Visitors can explore the temple buildings, observe the religious ceremonies, and examine the gravestones of notable priests from different periods.

The temple features a wisteria tree that, according to local records, grows without roots, marking the spot where a Buddhist priest placed his sacred staff.
