Daiyuji Temple

高山市愛宕町67

4.4(90)

A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple that held a high status as the head temple of the Hida region (now Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture), featuring outstanding architecture by Hida craftsmen.

History

This Jodo-shu temple is traditionally said to have been founded by Shoko during the Kamakura period. In 1586, Genyudo Tokutoku became the re-founder and received donations from Kanamori Nagachika to relocate the temple to Takayama. Outstanding architecture by Hida craftsmen remains to this day, with the mountain gate and bell tower recognized as Japanese Heritage.
