大安寺, Zen Buddhist temple in Fukui, Japan.

The temple complex contains eight significant buildings, including the main hall, bell tower, gates, and living quarters, set within traditional gardens.

The Daianji Temple was established in 1658 by Matsudaira Mitsuyuki, the fourth lord of the Fukui domain during the early Edo period.

The temple follows the practices of Soto Zen Buddhism, focusing on meditation and mindfulness through structured daily rituals and ceremonies.

The temple buildings are undergoing extensive renovations until December 2029, with a designated viewing route for visitors to observe the restoration work.

The 1948 Fukui earthquake caused structural damage to the main hall and living quarters, leading to modifications in the original architecture.
