Kawasaki Daishi, Buddhist temple in Kawasaki, Japan
The Kawasaki Daishi temple complex spans across multiple buildings with a central main hall, ornate gates, and a five-story octagonal pagoda.
Founded in 1128, the temple became a significant Buddhist center and incorporated elements from three major pilgrimage routes in the Kanto region.
The temple conducts daily fire rituals, offering prayers for world peace, national stability, and personal wishes in accordance with traditional Buddhist practices.
Visitors can reach the temple via Kawasaki Daishi Station, with the main hall operating from 5:30 AM to 6:00 PM during summer and 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM in winter.
The temple houses 7,240 volumes of the Qianlong Tripitaka, the last woodblock-printed Buddhist canon produced in China.
