What other travelers are saying about Daigan-ji Temple
Near Itsukushima Shrine, I also visited Daigan-ji Temple, an intimate and traditional temple dating back to the 1200s. This serene temple offers a more secluded and peaceful atmosphere compared to its larger neighbor.
Daigan-ji Temple is dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of music, eloquence, and wealth, and houses several statues of the Buddha and Benzaiten. The temple's architecture and design reflect traditional Japanese aesthetics, with wooden structures and serene gardens creating a tranquil environment for reflection and prayer.
A pretty shrine near the main Tori gate and it’s nice to go up the steps to simply observe it. No need to pay to go inside or anything, as there’s not much to see.
