Daimon (Great Gate)
〒648-0211 和歌山県伊都郡高野町高野山
A massive two-story wooden gate standing 25.1 meters tall, located at the western entrance of Mount Koya. Built facing west, the upper section features the characters for 'Mount Koya' and wave motifs symbolizing a wish for fire prevention.
History
The original torii-style gate collapsed in a fire, leading to the construction of the current Daimon in 1705. It was established as a symbolic structure marking the entrance to Mount Koya and the Danjo Garan (the main temple complex).
