History

Byakko

Dairen-ji is a quiet temple located in the old townscape of Kawagoe. Founded long ago, it has been cherished by the local community as a historic temple. Its principal image is Amida Nyorai, believed to grant wishes, ensure family safety, and bring academic success. The temple's garden is beautifully maintained, soothing the hearts of visitors. This temple, retaining the atmosphere of a bygone era, was also an ideal place for me to meditate peacefully.
