    Founded by Kōbō Daishi on the orders of Emperor Saga in 822, this temple is commonly called Komatsu-(-ji (The Tail of the Small Pine Tree Temple) which is the mountain name attributed to the temple. Kōbō Daishi worshipped the Gongen of the three places in Kumano here and carved the honzon.

    The temple has been associated with the three Kumano Shrines since its founding in 822. At one time it contained twenty-four Shingon Halls and twelve Tendai Shrines. At that time it was under the joint management of both the Shingon and Tendai Sects. Most of these building were burnt down in the 16th century by Chōsokabe's warriors.

    The great camphor tree in the compound was planted by Kōbō Daishi. The statue is of Tendai Daishi, the Chinese founder of T'ien-t'ai Buddhism. There are also two daishidō Halls in the compound, one for Shingon and one for Tendai.

    Like many other temples, this temple was burned by the warriors of Chōsokabe Motochika in the 16th century. The temple is also known as Komatsuoji (Temple of the Small Pine Tree's Tail).

The entrance of Daikō-ji. Fences have been placed around the Kongo Rikishi statues on the left and right sides of the gate to prevent touching.

 

This is the main hall of Daikō-ji. It enshrines Yakushi Nyorai (Bhaisajyaguru, the Buddha of Healing).

The overall color scheme is dark, creating a somber atmosphere.

 

Next is the Daishi-do hall (hall with an enshrined statue of Kobo Daishi). It also gives off a dark impression.

While reciting the sutras, pray for the safety of your family and world peace, without succumbing to a gloomy mood.
