Daigo-ji is a renowned Buddhist temple located in Fushimi, Kyoto, Japan. Established in 874 by the monk Shōbō, also known as Rigen Daishi, this temple is a significant site within the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. Daigo-ji is famous for its beautiful cherry blossoms, particularly during the spring season, and its historic buildings, including the five-storied pagoda, which is the oldest surviving building in Kyoto, dating back to 951. The temple complex is divided into three main areas: the Sanbō-in, the Shimo-Daigo (Lower Daigo), and the Kami-Daigo (Upper Daigo), each offering a unique glimpse into the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the site.
