L	Laure Porché on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love Daisen, it's beautiful in all seasons and definitely worth the climb. Make sure you go up to Ogamiyama shrine via the 800 year old paved road!
A	Alan Povall on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Walked to the top of Mt Daisen. Really not a beginner's walk, a reasonable degree of fitness required I think. It's fairly steep, 1:4 I think for most parts. My legs are feeling it right now. View about half way up (starting from ~700m at Daisen-ji) was the best in my opinion, but the top is very good nonetheless. Bring a camera for sure. Since it is Alpine conditions, weather is very changeable, so plan accordingly. You'll probably want to take hiking poles too. Not for the way up, but for coming down. It's steep, the steps are big, and there's often loose-ish rocks. Also can be quite wet being so high up. Worth it though I think.
A	Antoni Remeseiro Alfonso on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very cool temple. There is a small fee of 300 yen but it is worth it. There are a ton of small paths all around to walk and do trekking. There is also a river and a waterfall nearby you can go to. After visiting the temple you can walk around a bit and then stop to have something for lunch in the small town right next to the temple.
J	Justin Hankins on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The foot bath was air temperature. The hike was easy. A very peaceful place. I did not have time to try hiking up the mountain but it does not seem like a long route.
S	Sean Kelley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of my favorite places in all of the Chugoku region. Daisen-ji is a peaceful stroll through the mountain town and towards an increasingly serene respite partway up Mt. Daisen. Beautiful in any time of year.
W	Wei Yuet Wong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went in the autumn. Not as crowded as other more popular temples. Reading the other comments, I agree that this temple can be beautiful in all seasons.
G	GIO Tan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the stairway entrance to 大山寺。entrance fee was 300yen per person. There’s a path on the left side of the stairways that leads to another shrine . We didn’t take it as the weather was too cold. Else it would be a lovely 15mins stroll in the woods. This is probably free.
M	Michelle Y on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Quiet and peaceful temple, sitting on a hilltop. There is quite a climb up to the temple. From the temple, you can also climb up the stairs further to another shrine, or to begin your ascend to Mt Daisen. Recommended for beginners as it is not difficult. Be sure to make the descend before sunset as it can get dark without many lampposts.
