The Nishi Tsu Mon gate, designated as an Important Cultural Property, and the garden, which has been open to the public since the late Shōwa era, possess a dignified atmosphere and are well worth seeing. The grounds feature ginkgo trees that offer beautiful seasonal scenery. Additionally, the Honbo holds events such as doll offerings and provides a calm environment for worship.
