Original Text

　The townscape preservation district of Katsuyama extends along the Asahikawa River, but one side is a hill with a river terrace. Daiunji Temple is on the slope. It was founded in the year of Astronomical １５ (１５６４) at the end of Muromachi, when Katsuyama developed as a castle town. It was destroyed by fire in the Edo period, but it was rebuilt immediately. The pine trees in the precincts are estimated to be ３００ years old. It's a quiet temple.

It is a temple in the Katsuyama Townscape Preservation District. It is blended into the surrounding scenery because it is located in the retro townscape. I think it's a street that doesn't feel uncomfortable even if there is a temple. The precincts are not large, so it didn't take long to worship.
