Description

At Saikyoji, known as the Western Koyasan, a 33.5-meter-tall three-story great pagoda was completed in 1988 to mark the 1,150th memorial anniversary of Kukai. Its first-level Myo-o Iryoku Hall enshrines a Fudo Myoo image modeled at life size on Matsuura Hiromu (Kanchu), the 35th head of the Hirado Matsuura family, together with other images. Visitors can also experience a symbolic journey through darkness in the basement, called Taizokai Meguri, and view Buddhist art in the temple treasure museum. The site connects Hirado's history with devotion to Kobo Daishi. The great pagoda and museum are normally open from 8:30 to 17:00 with paid admission.
