Daigo-ji, a World Heritage site, is a historic grand temple whose precincts cover an entire vast mountain, especially famous as a cherry blossom spot where Toyotomi Hideyoshi held the "Flower Viewing of Daigo." The Five-storied Pagoda, a National Treasure, is the oldest wooden building in Kyoto Prefecture, and its elegant appearance is overwhelming. In autumn, the foliage around the Kannon-do hall reflects in the pond, creating a picture-perfect vista. On the hiking path to Kami-Daigo, you can personally feel the solemnity of nature and the history of ascetic training. With an impressive treasure house, it's a place where you can touch both the glamorous culture loved by Japanese warlords and the serene faith preserved over long history.
