Daisen-ji

Daisen-ji Temple stands at the base of Mount Daisen with traditional Japanese architecture, including a bell tower and multiple prayer halls alongside stone lanterns.

Founded in 718 during the Nara period by the monk Renjo, Daisen-ji Temple became a center of mountain worship and Buddhist studies in western Japan.

The temple functions as part of two pilgrimage routes: the Chugoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and the Izumo Shinbutsu Pilgrimage, drawing visitors throughout the year.

Visitors can access the temple from April through November between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with admission fees of 300 yen for adults and 200 yen for children.

The temple preserves a collection of national treasures, including the Amida Hall and a triad of Amida Buddha statues designated as Important Cultural Properties.
