Daijiji, Buddhist temple in Shibushi, Japan
The temple grounds contain multiple religious structures, including a Dharma Hall housing statues of Sho-Kannon, Amida-butsu, and Nyoirin Kannon at its center point.
The Dairyozan Daijiji temple was founded in 1278 by Kangan Giin, a principal student of Dogen Zenji who established the Soto Zen practice.
The temple maintains its position as the principal Soto Zen temple in Kyushu, where ceremonies marking entry into priesthood take place in the Dharma Hall.
Visitors can participate in zazen meditation sessions held on the first Sunday of each month in the Zazen Hall, which accommodates up to 60 participants.
The temple houses a 169-centimeter bronze bell from 1287, featuring inscriptions in Kangan Zenji's calligraphy, recognized as a National Important Cultural Property.
