Daiko-in
〒373-0027 群馬県太田市金山町３７−８
A temple of the Jodo sect, with the mountain name Gijushu-zan. It is commonly known as 'Kosodate Donryu' (Child-Rearing Dragon Swallower) or 'Donryu-sama,' and serves as a special station on the Higashi-Joso 33 Kannon Pilgrimage as well as the Bishamonten (Goddess of Wisdom and Arts) of the Gunma Seven Lucky Gods.
History
Established by Tokugawa Ieyasu to pray for the prosperity of the Tokugawa clan and to perform memorial services for Niida Yoshishige, the temple invited the monk Donryu, a disciple of the master Kanchi, to oversee its construction. Completed in 1613 CE (Keicho 18), the temple grounds contain the graves of Niida Yoshishige and Master Donryu. During the Meiji era, Hino Reizui, who served as the head of the Jodo sect, held the position of abbot at Daiko-in.

What visitors say
The temple grounds feature impressive structures, including the main hall and the Kaizan-do (Founding Hall). A black pine tree known as 'Garyu-matsu' (Reclining Dragon Pine) stands in front of the main hall. Since the trailhead for Mount Kinzan is located behind the temple, it is common to see visitors praying before their hike. This is a serene temple where many people visit to pray for protection from misfortune and other blessings.
