大智院, Buddhist temple in Chita, Japan
The Daichiin temple contains a thousand-year-old camphor tree and features a statue of Kobo Daishi wearing glasses in its temple grounds.
Founded by Prince Shotoku, the temple changed its mountain designation from Yanagiryu-san to Kinsho-san in 1692 and became a spiritual sanctuary for the Saji clan.
The temple holds annual bean-throwing ceremonies on February 3rd where participants receive fortune boxes, blessed beans, and perform traditional rituals in ceremonial robes.
Visitors can reach the temple by walking 20 minutes from Ono-machi Station or taking the Aiai Bus from Shinmaiko Station to Minami-Kasuya-Honmachi stop.
The temple houses a statue of Kobo Daishi wearing glasses, linked to a legend about restoring a blind person's vision while the statue's left eye became damaged.
