Daikokuji is an old temple founded in 665 AD by En no Gyoja, the founder of Shugendo. The principal image of the shrine is Daikokuten, which is said to have been sculpted by an ascetic ascetic himself after receiving a message from Daikokuten. It gained faith as Japan's first sacred place where Daikokuten appeared and a sacred place of prayer, and during the Muromachi period it prospered with the devotion of the Hatakeyama clan, the Kawachi shugo (guardian), but during the Tensho era, when Oda Nobunaga attacked Osaka, it became part of Nobunaga's camp and came under fire. Desolate. Later, during the Edo period, it was revived as a Zen sect (Soto sect) temple and continues to this day. The Daibonsho bell in the precincts is a 400-year-old Kiyosho bell with an ancient yellow bell tone. It is also a Kannon sacred place (Kawachi Saigoku No. 8), as it enshrines the Kannon statue that is said to have been dedicated by Lord Motokuni Hatakeyama.
