Daifuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Tateyama, Japan.
The Kannon Hall of Daifuku-ji temple stands on the steep cliffs of Mount Funakata, featuring vermillion pillars that support its wooden structure.
The Buddhist priest Gyoki established Daifuku-ji in 717 during the Nara period, and the temple received official certification from the Tokugawa shogunate in the Edo period.
The temple houses a 1.5-meter-tall statue of Kannon and contains Chiba Prefecture's oldest stone carving of a Buddhist figure within its halls.
Visitors can reach Daifuku-ji by taking a 15-minute walk west from Nakofunakata Station on the JR East Uchibo Line in Chiba Prefecture.
The temple's main hall integrates directly into the rock formation of the mountain, creating a structural design that merges architecture with natural landscape.
