Description

Daishoji is a Shingon Buddhist temple on Mount Sugitake in Kitagata, Takeo, traditionally founded by the monk Gyoki in 709. It enshrines Fudo Myoo with two attendant boys. A legend tells that the warrior Chinzei Hachiro Tametomo prayed here before defeating a great serpent on Mount Kurokami. An annual fire-walking ritual dedicated to Fudo takes place in February. Situated at an elevation of approximately 350 m, the temple is also known for about 5,000 hydrangea plants flowering in early summer. Although grounds visiting hours are published, close viewing of the images requires advance confirmation.
