What visitors say
Highlights include the dragon paintings on the ceiling of the worship hall (haiden) and the unusual faces of the komainu (stone lion-dogs). The precincts have a peaceful atmosphere, with the babbling brook of the river flowing nearby bringing a sense of coolness. There is a parking lot and toilets accessible from the national highway, and Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available for purchase without needing to write them out.
