This temple is the 80th station of the Chita New Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. A magnificent large camphor tree, estimated to be about 800 years old, stands tall behind the impressive Niomon (Lion-Dog Gate). The main hall appears to have been recently rebuilt, and further up the stairs is the Hongu-do (Kobo Daishi Hall), where Buddhist paintings are displayed. The parking lot is spacious, and the temple grounds are well-maintained and clean.
