Daitsū-tera, Buddhist temple in Minami-ku, Japan.
Daitsū-tera is a Buddhist temple in Minami-ku featuring wooden structures arranged around central prayer halls and meditation spaces. The buildings follow traditional Japanese architectural design and create a unified sacred compound.
The temple originated during the early spread of Buddhism across Japan and influenced the religious development of Minami-ku. Its establishment reflects the region's transformation during that pivotal period.
The temple functions as a gathering place where locals come to pray and meditate in a setting rooted in Buddhist tradition. Visitors notice how the community moves through the halls and courtyards, following age-old patterns of worship.
