What other travelers are saying about Daisho-in Temple
A beautiful and peaceful temple complex with a serene atmosphere.
The site features intricate statues, colorful prayer wheels, and well maintained pathways leading up the hillside.
It offers a quiet retreat from the more crowded areas nearby. The historical significance and spiritual ambiance make it a worthwhile visit.
A great place to explore, reflect, and enjoy the surrounding nature.
This was a pleasure to visit and I will always remember my time here. It was certainly beautiful after a snowfall and more amazing to see in person.
The shrines are magnificent, the grounds of the place are beautiful in every way. Magical in a sense that its beauty is very opening. I will certainly put this at the top of my list during my stay in Hiroshima, it is worth the trek up the mountain to see in person, there are many steps to climb but it is worth it.
One of my favorite temples I’ve visited in Japan. There’s so many layers and angles to enjoy.
Please be mindful of the sacredness and reality in which allows us to visit such wonders of the world. Stay off your phone, be mindful, try to keep conversations for after words or to an absolute minimum, and take less photos and enjoy first hand the experience that is unfolding right in front of you.
It’s places like these that we should cherish and remember the most. The photos come secondary.
Thank you to all who made it possible to enjoy 🙏🏽
Lovely temple. There’s a little path to the left as you enter which takes you along a row of figurines which are stunning. Suggest you get there early to avoid the scores of tourist groups that start arriving at ten am.
I've read that of the three trails to the top of Mount Misen, Daishoin offers the best views and the easiest ascent. The views were in fact just gorgeous all the way up and the air smells SO good. If you are heading up, do yourself a favour and take your time to listen to the sounds of the wind in the trees, the flowing of streams and the calls of the birds.
As for the path, it's entirely composed of stone steps but be aware - I was there in February and it was a snowy day. The way down can be very treacherous and slippery. I had to grab ahold of branches to support a few times to prevent myself from falling. Unfortunately, since it was so snowy, I also couldn't see anything from the observatory. Even so, it was worth the trip - things cleared up on the way down :/ and at least I was able to enjoy a bit of sunshine once I had passed the most slippery parts.
