Daishiji

It's a compact temple, but it's in good condition. You can worship the rare sleeping Kobo.

Although it is a small temple, it was a very quaint temple.

This is the first small temple to come to Hikone. * The best of Japan's Nekobo-san (life-size bronze statue) and one place of Hikone Shichifukujin (Stone Buddha) are dedicated. A small temple located a 5-minute walk from Hikone Station, everyone around Hikone is known as "Kobo-san in front of the station". Daishi-ji Temple is famous for being the best temple in Japan for Nekobosan Bon'an. In the mind of Mr. Nekobo, "Shari-san" (= a part of Buddha's remains) dedicated from Kyoto Toji Temple is dedicated. It is said that there is a benefit to stroking Mr. Nekobo's back and making a request. Recently, there has been an increase in prayers visiting as a power spot Mr. Nekobo.

I came to the castle for sightseeing in Hikone, but it is recommended as a hidden sightseeing spot. We walk from the castle in the center, but since it is close to the station, please stop by if you are not driving. It ’s a small temple, but it ’s calm.

Daishi-ji Temple in the alley of Hikone! It's a bit difficult to understand, but there is Mr. Nekobo. It is popular to say "push the drum" ... but here's a drumstick for Homma! They seem to do prayers too, and they have a taiko drum for God!
