Daijoji

行田市行田23−10

3.8(81)

A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple located in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture. It houses a large Buddha statue known as the Daijoji Daibutsu (Great Buddha of Daijoji).

History

Founded in the Genki to Tenno period (1570–1592 CE) by the monk Jakuzen Shonin. It became the family temple (bodaiji) of the Abe clan of Oga Domain and was developed accordingly, but it was completely destroyed by a fire in the early Meiji period. The current main hall was newly built in 1983.

What visitors say

A grand temple featuring an impressive large Buddha statue, with the distinctive characteristic that the back of the statue is visible from the prefectural road. The grounds are well-maintained and feature notable sights such as a beautiful suikinkutsu (water harp), a garden, and statues of Jizo and Enma. While a wide variety of Goshuin (temple seal stamps) are available, reception status may fluctuate due to events at the head temple, so caution is advised.
