Jigen-ji, Buddhist temple in Daitō, Japan
The temple stands on the northern slope of Ikoma Mountains, offering views of the Osaka Plain from its elevated position at coordinates 34.71917, 135.64466.
The temple traces its origins to the Tenpyo-Shoho period between 749-757 when an Indian Brahmin priest suggested the location resembled Sarnath to monk Gyoki.
The May ceremony called Nozaki Mairi includes sutra recitations for both connected and unconnected spirits, maintaining a tradition from the Edo period.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking the JR West Gakken-Toshi Line to Nozaki Station and walking east for approximately one kilometer.
The temple features a nine-tiered stone pagoda from 1294, recognized as the oldest layered tower in the northern Kawachi region.
