Daishouin temple is a most beautiful temple in Japan. It is also surrounded by the beautiful nature. It is beautiful in all seasons, in particular, in autumn and spring. Golden autumn leaves entertain your eyes in autumn and so do pink cherry blossoms in spring. You enjoy the old houses and nature-rich streets leading up to Daishouin Temple, as well.

One of Miyajima’s most beautiful temples, Daisho-in Temple is located a short walk to the east of the main village and Itsukushima Shrine close to the beginning of the Mt Misen trails. You are treated to a more peaceful experience at this temple as it is set away from the crowd filled Itsukushima Shrine and although Miyajima Island is visited by ferry loads of people each day, not too many vistors make it as far as Daisho-in Temple. The delicately carved wooden beams and roof are a beautiful example of Japanese religious architecture.

This temple along the trail to the top of Misen-san is quite "open". I mean, you will be able to see more than in most temple I did visit, so was worthwhile to visit.
