History
Daihouin, enshrined in Tatebayashi's Kamiakao district, receives protection from the Great Dharma—the fundamental law of the universe. All phenomena in the world follow this great law in their rise and fall, and human hearts similarly exist within it. This temple teaches pilgrims to awaken to the truth of the Great Dharma and place themselves within its vast compassion. It continues gathering the devotion of Tatebayashi's people through the ages.
