Daiuchuji Temple

沼津市中沢田457

4.3(65)

A Zen Buddhist temple of the Myoshin-ji school located in Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, with the mountain name Sawada-san. It is known as a famous spot for plum blossoms and features the Onko-den Hall, a Registered Tangible Cultural Property, and the Tsuugen Bridge.

History

The temple is said to have been founded in 1313 CE (Showa 2) when Muso Soseki moved a thatched hut he had built on Mount Aitago to this location. There is also a tradition that the site was a Shingon Buddhist temple before Muso's visit. Unusually for a Zen temple, it enshrines the Fudomyo-o (Acala, the Immovable Wisdom King) as its principal image.
