Daichi-ji

Daichi-ji temple stands with its traditional architecture among gardens that incorporate stone arrangements and water features representing Buddhist symbolism.

The temple underwent reconstruction between 1667 and 1670, marking a transition from its original name Seiren-ji to its current designation as Daichi-ji.

The temple follows practices of the Rinzai sect, which emphasizes meditation and direct spiritual awakening through contemplation of gardens and ritual spaces.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds through Ohmi Railway services to Minakuchi Station, followed by a 20-minute walk through the local neighborhood.

The temple features a Suikinkutsu, an underground water feature creating distinct musical notes when water drips through stones into buried ceramic vessels.
