What visitors say
This temple is characterized by its dignified main hall, which evokes the history associated with Takeda Shingen, and its impressive vermilion mountain gate. The grounds feature a clear pond where visitors can stroll while watching koi fish swim. Enjoyable experiences include the 'Naki-ryu' (Crying Dragon) ritual in the main hall and the 'Okaidan-meguri' (a ritual procession through the dark).
