Daihoji

〒386-1603 長野県小県郡青木村当郷2052

4.1(235)

A Tendaishu (Tiantai) Buddhist temple located in Nagano Prefecture, known for its National Treasure, the three-story pagoda. It is one of the oldest temples in Shinshu (Nagano region) and houses many cultural properties from the medieval period.

History

It is said to have been founded during the Daiho era (701–704 CE) of the Nara period by Sadake, the son of Fujiwara no Kamatari. During the Heian period, it was re-established by Gishin through the prayers of Sakanoue no Tamamaro. In the Kamakura period, cultural properties were created with the support of local land stewards (jito) such as the Urano and Hojo clans. During the Edo period, it became a branch temple of the Kanshuin sub-temple at Togakushi and flourished as a mountain Buddhist temple associated with Tendaishu Shugendo (Tiantai Esoteric Buddhism).

What visitors say

The National Treasure three-story pagoda is called the "Pagoda of Reward" due to its elegant appearance, and its beauty can be appreciated even from outside the temple grounds. The scenery is also appealing, with cherry blossoms in spring and autumn foliage in fall. An admission fee is required, and viewing the main image (honzon) may require a reservation or an additional fee. Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) are also available.
