The Tale of Grapes and Buddha: A Historical Journey to Daizenji

🍇 The Tale of Grapes and Buddha: A Historical Journey to Daizenji ⛩️ Located in Katsunuma Town, Koshu City, "Daizenji" is a historic temple founded during the Nara period, famous for its National Treasure, the Yakushido Hall✨ The Yakushi Nyorai statue holds "grapes" 🍇 in its left hand, which is said to be the origin of Koshu grapes. The temple is also known as the "Grape Temple." In the tranquil temple grounds, you can experience history, nature, and the gentle presence of Buddha—a perfect moment to reset your mind. I visited alone and was deeply soothed by the solemn atmosphere of the Yakushido Hall and the comforting taste of grape juice made by the resident priest. A leisurely stroll with your partner is also recommended. After the temple visit, you can enjoy tasting Koshu wine 🍷. 🚗 Access: - About 5 minutes by taxi or a 35-minute walk from JR Chuo Main Line "Katsunuma Budokyo Station" - About 3 minutes by car from Chuo Expressway "Katsunuma IC" * Parking available (for visitors, paid)
