Overview

Daitoku-ji Daisen-in is a temple with a particularly rich history, even within the esteemed Daitoku-ji complex. Established in the 16th century, it boasts a wealth of valuable cultural assets. Highlights include Muromachi-period wall paintings, a stunning rock garden, and a captivating shoin (study). The Muromachi-period wall paintings offer a priceless glimpse into the culture of that era. The rock garden, designed according to Zen principles, creates a world of tranquility and offers a peaceful retreat. The shoin provides a window into the architectural style of the time, enriching your historical understanding. Daisen-in is not just a place to encounter history and art; it's also a sanctuary where you can find serenity and peace. We highly recommend a visit.
