Daihondō (Kawasaki Daisai)
〒210-0816 神奈川県川崎市川崎区大師町４−４８
A head temple of the Chisan school of Shingon Buddhism, commonly known as Kawasaki Daisai. It enshrines Kōbō Daishi (Kūkai) as its principal image and holds daily Goma (fire ritual) ceremonies.
History
Hirama Kanemori built a small hall to enshrine a wooden statue of Kōbō Daishi that he had retrieved from the sea. Later, collaborating with the high priest Sonken of Mount Kōya, he established Hirama-ji in 1128 CE. During the Edo period, the temple became bustling with pilgrims, notably after a visit by Tokugawa Ienari. The temple complex was destroyed in the post-war Kawasaki air raid and was subsequently rebuilt.
