The Daikōdō ("English: Grand Auditorium") was donated by [[Soka Gakkai]], with construction completed on 1 March 1958. It houses the “Abutsubo Gohonzon” (often ''wrongly mistaken for the "Mannenkugo Gohonzon" or "Dai-Honzon" '') inscribed by Nichiren for the enlightenment of women and bestowed to Sennichi, the pious wife of disciple Abutsubo. It is flanked by the ''[[ihai]]'' memorial tablets of second High Priest [[Nikkō Shonin]] and his successor, third High Priest Nichimoku Shonin. It is in poorly dilapidated condition (shambles) and scheduled for demolition and reconstruction after completion of the new Sanmon gate in 2021.{{Citation needed|date=July 2019}}
