Mt. Daigo
醍醐山
Kyoto, Kyoto · Elevation 454 m
A 454-meter peak at the southern end of the Higashiyama ridge in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, whose summit area forms "Kami-Daigo," the founding site of the UNESCO World Heritage temple Daigo-ji. According to tradition, in 874 (Jōgan 16) the priest Shōbō (Rigen Daishi) discovered the sacred spring known as Daigo-sui here and built the first hall on the mountain. The summit precinct holds the National Treasure Yakushi-dō (913), the Seiryū-gū hall and the Important Cultural Property Kaizan-dō, rebuilt by Toyotomi Hideyori in 1606. The standard pilgrimage path climbs in about an hour from the Nyonin-dō at Shimo-Daigo on stone steps; clear days reveal Osaka, Osaka Castle and the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in the distance. Admission requires a Daigo-ji entrance fee, and the peak is listed in the Bunken Tozan Guide for Kyoto.
