Daigaku-ji is a temple of the Shingon Buddhism, located in Sagano, a district in the West of Kyôto. In the 8th century the temple was used as a residence for Emperor Saga (786-842) and is therefore called Saga-gosho. In 876 the villa was changed into a Buddhist temple. From that time on the temple was used as the retirement home for several emperors.
