Daikannon Temple was established in 1982, and on the year after that, the head temple of a Shingon sect Yamashina recognized it as a special head temple. The principal image is 33 meters high and that is because Kannon rescues people while mutating itself into 33 different forms.

These special features will definitely entertain you. Around the temple, there are also Louvre Museum of Sculptures that displays over 1,300 reprints of world-famous artworks.
