Daitsuji Temple

A separate temple of the Otani sect of Shinshu Buddhism. Although it is officially called Mugechizan Daitsuji Temple, it is commonly called "Nagahama Gobo". Kyonyo Shonin, the 12th head of Hongwanji, opened a dojo in the former Nagahama Castle to preach Buddhism to the followers of Kohoku, and it was called Nagahama Mido. Many of the buildings, such as the main hall and hall, which are said to be the remains of Fushimi-Momoyama Castle, and the side gate (Yakuimon), which was relocated from Nagahama Castle, are important cultural properties of the country or the city. As a cultural property designated by the prefecture, there is a temple bell with an inscription from the period of the Northern and Southern Courts.
