About Daikanji
Daikanji is a temple of the Omuro school of Shingon Buddhism, founded in 1970 (Showa 45) by its first chief priest. As Temple No. 45 of the Kyushu 88 Temples & 108 Sacred Sites pilgrimage, it is also visited by pilgrims.
The temple began in a small, house-like building. Supported by many people, the present main hall was built in 1997. The building has two floors: the main hall is on the 2nd floor and the parking area on the ground floor.
The principal image is Fudo Myoo (Ichigan Fudo, “the Fudo who answers one wish”). The hall also enshrines Dainichi Nyorai, the Eleven-faced Kannon, the Thousand-armed Kannon, Kichijoten and others, including an old statue said to be more than 300 years old.
