Daianji Temple

大安寺

4.3Est. 90Nara, Kansai

JTA Approved

Once a vast complex with twin seven-story pagodas, today Daianji is a quiet site. The main draw is specific: its role in prayers against cancer and its collection of nine eighth-century statues. Remove your shoes before entering any hall; look for the shoe racks near the entrance.

Local tips

Remove shoes before entering any hall. Look for a shoe rack at the entrance. Carry a plastic bag for your shoes if none is provided.
