Daigoji Temple is an old temple known for Hideyoshi Toyotomi's "Daigo no hanami" (cherry blossom viewing in Daigo). It is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, also called "Hana-no-Daigo." About 700 cherry trees, including weeping cherry trees, someiyoshino cherry trees, mountain cherry trees, and double-flowered cherry trees, are in full bloom one after another, and cherry blossom viewing can be enjoyed for a long period of time. The cherry blossoms in full bloom against the backdrop of the five-story pagoda built in the Heian period (794-1192) are also magnificent. There are plenty of seasonal views, historical buildings, temple treasures, and other attractions.

The maple trees and dodan-tsutsuji (azalea) in the precincts of the temple turn bright colors, creating a unique seasonal atmosphere that is also very special.
