Its location beside the approach to Itsukushima Shrine shows Daigan-ji's strong connection to Miyajima's layered Buddhist-Shinto religious setting.
Daigan-ji is closely associated with Benzaiten devotion, linking the temple to the Japanese Buddhist worship of the deity Benzaiten.

Daigan-ji sits right at the exit of Itsukushima Shrine, so it's easy to fold into your visit without backtracking. The grounds stay noticeably quieter than the shrine, even on holidays, making it a good place to slow down after the crowds.
The main object of worship is Itsukushima Benzaiten, counted among Japan's three great Benzaiten enshrined at Enoshima and Chikubushima. The deity is associated with financial luck, business, and the arts.
