1. Brief History of Daikaku-ji Temple
Daikaku-ji Temple was originally a retirement villa of Emperor Saga, who lived in the 8th to 9th centuries. It was changed into a temple in 876 by his daughter after he passed away.
Although the current buildings are reconstructions, one of them was actually used by other Imperial family members in the 17th century, before it was moved to Daikaku-ji Temple.
Visitors can actually have a close look at the imperial style architecture, which would be quite a special experience. Please note that photography is forbidden inside those buildings.
