The architecture and gardens, which convey the splendor of Momoyama culture, are the main attractions. The garden, said to have been designed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, features bold stone arrangements and sculpted pines. In spring, the large red weeping cherry blossoms bloom beautifully.

Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seal stamps) can be received at the Nakojo (scripture donation office) next to the main gate.
