Daion-ji, Buddhist temple in Nagasaki, Japan
The Daion-ji temple sits on carefully maintained grounds with traditional wooden structures and peaceful gardens creating spaces for meditation and reflection.
Founded in 1614, Daion-ji stood as a testament to Buddhist practices during a period when Christianity gained influence throughout the Nagasaki region.
The temple preserves traditional Japanese architectural elements, including wooden halls and religious artifacts that represent centuries of Buddhist spiritual practices.
Visitors can reach Daion-ji via local trams and buses from Nagasaki Station, with early morning visits recommended for observing traditional morning rituals.
A photograph taken by Felice Beato in 1868 captured the temple's essence, showing a Buddhist priest accompanied by samurai and attendants.
