Daiju-ji, Buddhist temple in Okazaki, Japan.
The temple grounds contain multiple buildings, including a two-story pagoda that stands as a central architectural element of the complex.
Matsudaira Chikatada established this temple in 1475, which later became the primary place of worship for both Matsudaira and Tokugawa clans.
The temple holds screen doors with illustrations by artist Reizei Tamechika and contains wooden statues representing important Buddhist figures.
Visitors can access the temple through Daijuji station with a 7-minute walk, and admission costs 500 yen for adults and 300 yen for students.
The temple maintains a direct three-kilometer vista line to Okazaki Castle, creating an intentional connection between these two historical structures.
