History
Daigenji is a temple passed down from ancient times in this land of Atsugi. Located in a quiet mountain valley, it offers peace of mind to visitors. The main hall enshrines a compassionate Buddha, and many believers visit to offer their prayers. The sound of the bell echoing in the precinct seems to make one forget the daily hustle and bustle and purify the mind. Its appearance, surrounded by nature, is truly a sanctuary worthy of the name, healing the hearts of visitors.
