Despite being a major pilgrimage site, the former Yamamoto area had no train stations. Pilgrims had to travel through neighboring Toyonaka or Saita to reach the temple by rail.

Daikoji is Temple No. 67 on the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, marking a spiritual milestone for pilgrims as they journey through western Kagawa's countryside.

Daiko-ji è il Tempio N. 67 del Pellegrinaggio degli 88 templi di Shikoku.

The temple sits in what was once Yamamoto Town, which ceased to exist in 2006 when it merged with six other towns to form the new city of Mitoyo.
