What other travelers are saying about Daisho-in Temple
Beautiful Buddhist temple, 100% worth the stairs! It is built on the mountain where you can have a great view of the town and sea. It's so great to walk around the garden, next to a clear beautiful stream. The 500 rakans with red beanies are interesting to look at. There's a temple stamp that you can collect as well. You can spend 1 to 2 hours here.
This temple was really awesome. It has a little of everything and in a beautiful setting. There are a lot of stairs though so be prepared for that. One of the temples blows a bunch of mist out of the bottom that makes for a very cool picture. I wasn't expecting it so I didn't get a very good shot. There is also an underground path in one of the temples that is completely dark and you have to navigate with your hands on walls. I think it is supposed to represent rebirth or something.
Spectacular. Must go early, be first off ferry and enjoy floating itsukushima shrine with no one around. Then walk here and again you will likely be alone. In early November this was beautiful. A bit of a hike but there was something amazing around every corner. Truly tucked into the mountain side. Took very few photos as I couldn’t stop taking it all in. No way for me to recreate this experience with a picture.
We visited in mid-November and the trees were just starting to turn red. We can see that deep autumn would show a red/orange vista.
We got to see the divine statutes dressed in red beanies. Make sure not to miss the Henjo Cave too.
Just maybe one of the most special places I’ve been so far in Japan. Get there early and go straight here before the tourists all arrive and enjoy a super serene and spiritual experience than encapsulates Buddhism. Highly recommend.
Visitors can explore a variety of halls, statues, and shrines, including the Kannon-do Hall, Maniden Hall, and the Henjokutsu Cave, which houses 88 icons representing the temples of the Shikoku Pilgrimage.
The cave contains statues of the 88 temples of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, allowing pilgrims to symbolically complete the pilgrimage without leaving Miyajima.
The temple hosts various events, including the autumn maple leaf festival and ceremonies honoring Kobo Daishi.
The temple grounds have many steps and uneven pathways, which may pose challenges for visitors with mobility issues. However, certain areas are more accessible.
