Daishō Gokoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Takasaki, Japan
The Daishō Gokoku-ji temple extends across landscaped grounds with traditional Japanese architectural features, including a prominent main hall and stone pathways.
Established in 1216, the temple received support from the Tokugawa shogunate, specifically from the fifth shōgun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi during the Edo period.
The temple maintains the practices of Shingon Buddhism and houses the deity Nyoirin Kannon, representing the Chintamanicakra in Buddhist traditions.
Visitors can access the temple grounds through public transportation networks in Takasaki, with designated areas for prayer and meditation available throughout the day.
The cemetery within the temple complex contains the graves of notable Japanese figures, including Sanjō Sanetomi and former Prime Minister Ōkuma Shigenobu.
