Daikōin, Buddhist temple in Ōsu 2-chōme, Nagoya, Japan.
The Daikōin temple features a main hall containing a wooden statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, carved by the Buddhist master Kobo Daishi.
The temple stood at its original location during the Kamakura Period until 1612, when Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered its relocation due to flooding issues.
The Shinpukuji Library beneath the temple houses 15,000 Chinese and Japanese texts, including the oldest existing copy of the historical Kojiki manuscript.
The temple grounds host a monthly flea market on the 18th and 28th, where 60 vendors sell antiques, clothing, and various goods to locals and visitors.
The temple maintains continuous operation without closing dates, offering free admission and access to its collection of Buddhist artifacts and manuscripts.
