Daijō-ji, Buddhist temple in Nagasakamachi, Japan.

The temple contains numerous structures, including a main hall, meditation hall, and living quarters for monks who practice Soto Zen Buddhism.

The temple originated in 1263 when Togashi Ienaka invited priest Chokai to establish a religious center, later transitioning to the Soto Zen sect in 1283.

The temple maintains strict meditation practices and traditional Buddhist ceremonies, serving as a training center for Soto Zen monks in Japan.

The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with admission fees of 1200 yen for adults and free parking facilities available.

The temple stands on elevated ground with a Buddhist altar hall designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan in 1702.
