Daifukuden-ji, Buddhist temple in Kuwana, Japan

Daifukuden-ji features two main halls containing statues, including the Main Hall with Buddha Amida and the Hall of Prayers with regional deities.

Prince Shōtoku established the temple between 574 and 622 AD under the name Daijingū-ji, initially positioning it in Ise Yamada before relocating to Kuwana.

The temple houses paintings from the Kamakura and Muromachi periods that earned recognition as National Important Cultural Properties of Japan.

Visitors can attend the Shōten festival celebrations held on the first and sixteenth days of each month at the temple grounds.

The temple maintains a Shō Kannon statue created by two Korean sculptors who separately crafted each half through divine guidance.
