A temple located at the summit of Mount Imayama in Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture. It is famous for its large bronze standing statue of Kobo Daishi (Saicho), considered the largest in Japan, and for the annual Imayama Daishi Festival.

History

The temple's origins date back to 1839 CE (Tenpo 10), when a statue of Kobo Daishi was invited from Kongobu-ji on Mount Koya at the request of the residents of Nobeoka Castle town. It was originally the inner sanctuary of the former Horaiyama Zenryu-ji temple. In 1949 CE (Shōwa 24), it was established as an independent temple named Imayama Daishi-ji.
