Nichiren-shu Daikyoji Temple

藤枝市藤枝4丁目2−7

4.2(137)

A Nichiren-shu temple located in Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is known for the 'Kuen no Matsu' (Eternal Pine), a natural monument said to have been planted by Nichiren himself.

History

In 1253, when Nichiren visited the area of Fujieda, a tea house couple named Doen and Myoen were converted to his teachings, and the temple's origins are traced to a Hokke-do (Lotus Sutra hall) they built behind their home. In 1536, Dai'en-nichi Jun rebuilt the temple complex and revived the temple. Later, the palace of Sagara Castle was relocated and converted into the temple's storage and living quarters, and prayers for the recovery from illness were offered by Tokugawa Iemochi.
