What visitors say
Located in a residential area, the temple is quiet on weekdays. Tools used in festivals are displayed in the main hall, allowing visitors to view them up close. In addition to a barrier-free slope, a rare bell hangs above the mountain gate. The Intangible Folk Cultural Property Mizumai (Water-Stopping Dance) is preserved here, and during festivals, a dance is performed where the dancers' faces are covered with cloth.
