What visitors say
The interior of the Kaizan-do hall features intricate openwork carvings, vividly colored sculptures, and paintings by Ishikawa Untetsu found throughout the space, with the ceiling and transom works being particularly impressive. While photography is prohibited inside the hall, visitors can appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship in its details. You can use the parking lot at the souvenir shop across the street. As the surrounding area is a residential neighborhood, it is a quiet and suitable place for worship.
