Daisen-ji

Daisen-ji says the monk Kinren founded it in the Yoro era, about 1,300 years ago, and it remains a head temple of the Tendai school. People across the Chugoku region know it as the temple where you meet your ancestors. The main hall burned in 1928 and was rebuilt in 1951, and ten sub-temples and the Amida-do survive on the mountain.

The Amida-do and its Amida triad are Important Cultural Properties. Visitors leave a ¥300 offering, which also opens the Reihokaku treasure hall from April to November. The temple's year runs from New Year services through Setsubun on 3 February and the spring festival on 24 May to Obon in mid August.
