Takidan-ji (瀧谷寺) is a Buddhist temple belonging to the Shingon-shū Chizan-ha sect located in the city of Sakai, Fukui, Japan in the Hokuriku region of Japan. Its main image is a statue of Yakushi Nyōrai, which the temple claims was carved by the Nara period shugendō monk Taichō. The temple is noted for its Japanese garden.
Takidan-ji was founded in 1377 AD and moved to its present location in 1381. During the Muromachi period it was patronized by the Asakura clan and during the Sengoku period by Shibata Katsuie. Under the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate, it was patronized by the Matsudaira clan, daimyō of Fukui Domain and had many sub-temples. Following the Meiji restoration, the temple became much reduced in scale. Many of its surviving structures date from the Edo period.
