To lead you to success events, nowadays, Unique venue is one of the important factors.

Now Hiroshima Convention and Visitors Bureau would like to introduce two new unique venues in Hiroshima, Japan.

Daisho-in Temple

Daisho-in Temple is one of the most prestigious Shingon Temple in the western part of Japan. Since the 12th century the temple was founded, it has had a long history and attracted many visitors. The temple had close links with Japanese Imperial Family until the 19th century. Emperor Meiji honored the temple by staying there in 1885.

The capacity is over 100 people of not only good for outdoor parties but also for meetings and has unique activities.

75 years ago, Hiroshima city was attacked by A-bomb, however this island where the temple is located was undamaged because it is around 20 km away from the hypocenter.

Therefor surrounded by the nostalgic typical Japanese style buildings, it has the serene atmosphere, including countless Buddhist teachings in the precincts.

Now the temple offers the precincts as a new unique venue. It can provide uniquely cooked “Shojin-ryori” with vegetables, Tofu and healthy ingredients, which are served in special occasions.

On top of that, there are several places where you can be immersed in the solemnity of something in the temple. We believe that your delegates will be satisfied with the unique experience in this majestic place.

Access

It takes about 1.5 hour from Hiroshima Station by train and ferry.

Or 1 hour from Hiroshima Peace Park pier by speed boat.

Or about 15 minute-walk from Miyajima-Port.
