Tokozan Daijoji Temple
東香山 大乘寺 · Buddhist temple
Kanazawa City Tourism Association records that Daijoji is a Zen temple halfway up Nodayama, built in 1262 and moved to its present site in the latter half of the 17th century. It records that the precincts are open to the public and that a Zen meditation gathering is held regularly.
The temple gives its own times for visiting and for its reception desk, and states that it is open every day of the year. The Sunday meditation gathering is listed separately, and the temple states it may be cancelled for services or events.
