Daishoin Temple

of 4 most visited
sights in Hagi

jump to: access - admission - ratings

Daishoin Temple is the burial site of half of the Mori daimyo (feudal lords), who governed from Hagi during the Edo Period (1603-1868), and who were alternately buried at either Daishoin or Tokoji Temple. Hundreds of donated stone lanterns surround the graves.

Apart from the burial site, the temple grounds, including the small garden behind the main building, make a slightly neglected and pleasantly rustic impression.
