The temple grounds, dotted with historic structures such as the National Treasure main hall, the Important Cultural Property Ni-o-mon (Two Kings Gate), and the five-story pagoda, exude a quiet and serene atmosphere. The path from the parking lot to the grounds is busy with traffic, so caution is required. The interior of the five-story pagoda is occasionally open to visitors during specific periods.
