Dairenji, Buddhist temple in Kurayoshi, Japan

The temple complex includes a main gate that functions as a bell tower, with stone lanterns marking the paths throughout the grounds.

Established in 1421, Dairenji Temple was created to honor the ancestors of the Honma clan, who were the Lords of Hamochi Castle.

The temple houses the 500 Arhats Hall, Kannondo Hall with its secret Kannon icon, and Hotei Hall, representing different forms of Buddhist worship.

Visitors can reach the temple within 10 minutes by car from Ogi Port, with parking facilities available within the temple grounds.

The temple features a painting titled 'Amazawa Hoteison' donated by master painter Mahori Hogan Yoshitaka, adding to its artistic value.
