The Daisho-in Temple is a key temple of Shingon Buddhism as it holds various historical aspects of the religion.
It is located in Mount Misen's base, where Kobo Daishi, the sector's founder, began his practice of Buddhism.
The temple is consistent in being one of the most visited Buddhist temple in the country, thanks to its elegant interior, green surroundings, richness in history, and very calming vibe.
Here are some of the things to look forward to in Daisho-in
- Maniden Hall (and its view)
- Kannon-do Hall
- Spinning wheels of sutra
It's a 5-minute walk from the Istukushima Shrine, while it is a 15-minute walk if it's from the ferry pier.
