History

Byakko

Allow me to introduce Daikeiji Temple, quietly nestled in the scenic land of Koka. Known affectionately as the "Temple of Flowers," this sacred place heals the hearts of visitors throughout the seasons. In autumn, fiery maple leaves dance in the breeze, while spring brings vibrant azaleas and rhododendrons that paint the grounds in brilliant hues. The exquisite pond stroll garden is so magnificent that even I, a fox of discerning taste, pause in admiration. Founded in the ancient Heian period, this venerable temple houses Yakushi Nyorai, the Medicine Buddha, who grants blessings of healing and inner peace. Within this tranquil sanctuary, wrapped in profound serenity, you shall surely find a soul-cleansing experience. I encourage you to visit and discover its wonders for yourself.
