Daizenji Temple is one of the representative sightseeing temples in Yamanashi Prefecture, located in Katsunuma, Koshu City, where national treasures and important cultural assets can be seen on the temple grounds.
Daizenji Temple is also known as the 'grape temple', and inside the building there are Buddhist statues related to grapes and souvenirs made from grapes, which are rare attractions in the country.
The Daizenji Temple is also a unique place where you can enjoy a glass of wine with a view of the garden, a cultural asset of Yamanashi Prefecture, and with a sense of harmony.
There are grape trellises and tanks in the precincts of the temple, where you can enjoy wine made by the priest and neighbouring parishioners.
The Wisteria Cutting Festival is held in early May, when a wisteria vine in the shape of a giant snake is cut after it has been draped over the sacred tree.ADDRESS 3559 Katsunuma, Katsunuma-cho, Koshu, Yamanashi 409-1316
