The Great Buddha Hall towering within the vast grounds offers an overwhelming sense of scale and presence. The temple grounds also feature a five-story pagoda, from the upper floors of which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding rural landscape. A spacious, free parking lot is available, and restaurants and convenience stores are scattered in the vicinity. Since visiting hours end earlier in winter, it is recommended to allow extra time for your visit.
