Daisho-in Temple is a significant Buddhist temple located at the base of Mount Misen on Miyajima Island. You can explore various buildings, statues, and religious objects on different levels as well as a hidden cave with 88 icons representing the Shikoku Pilgrimage temples. Don't miss spinning the metal wheels along the stairs for some good luck - it's like reading Buddhist scriptures without actually reading them! Plus, you can hike up to the summit of Mount Misen from here for more temple halls and stunning views. šŸ«¶
