Located in the lower part of the Daigoji complex is Kyoto's oldest wooden building, a pagoda that dates back to 951. It was constructed with backing by Emperor Suzaku and is dedicated to his predecessor, Emperor Daigo; it has been designated a national treasure. Heian-period national treasures located inside the pagoda are the "Eight Founders of Shingon Buddhism," mandala paintings and an image of Dainichi. There is a tiny shrine to honor Benten and another Shinto shrine called Seiryu-gu, whose Hon-den was built in 1517.
