Daigo-ji Temple, which is lined with buildings designated as national treasures in the natural precincts of Mt. Daigo

Daigoji Temple is an old temple known for Hideyoshi Toyotomi's "Daigo no hanami" (cherry blossom viewing). Daigoji Temple is also known as "Daigo in bloom" for its cherry blossoms, but in autumn, the entire Daigo Mountain area within the temple grounds is dyed in autumnal hues. The most beautiful area is around Bentendo, which stands by the pond. The autumn leaves surrounding the pond and the vermilion-lacquered hall are reflected on the surface of the water like a mirror. The autumn leaves and historical buildings, such as the five-story pagoda, a national treasure built in the Heian period (794-1192), are also beautiful.

Autumn leaves color the vermilion-lacquered Benten-do

The maple trees and dodan-tsutsuji (azalea) in the precincts of the temple turn bright colors, creating a unique seasonal atmosphere that is also very special.
