DescriptionDaishoji, an old temple of the Chizan school of Shingon Buddhism, is home to Kameoka Monju, counted among Japan’s Three Great Monju sites. The Monju Hall enshrines a hidden image of Monju Bosatsu said to have come from Mt. Wutai in China, drawing worshipers who pray for wisdom and success in learning. Beyond a stone-paved approach lined with old cedars, visitors can sense both the clarity associated with Monju and the quiet dignity cultivated through the temple’s long history.
