大林寺, Buddhist temple in central Matsuyama, Japan

Dairinji Temple features a main hall constructed to maintain direct visual alignment with Matsuyama Castle's tower for viewing the Amida Buddha statue inside.

The temple was established by Kamogawa Tadatomo, the second lord of Matsuyama Domain, and later renamed by Matsudaira Sadayuki as the family temple.

The temple bell, registered as a designated cultural property of Ehime Prefecture, rings through the grounds, marking significant moments throughout the day.

Located at 2-14-6 Misake-cho, the temple stands three minutes on foot from Furumachi Station on the Iyotetsu Railway line.

During the Meiji period, this Buddhist temple served as Matsuyama's first detention facility for Russian prisoners of war.
