What visitors say

The grounds are well-maintained with a serene atmosphere, featuring a main hall with a thatched roof and a mountain gate. The parking lot is located near the mountain gate, allowing visitors with mobility issues to worship without using stairs. In autumn, approximately 100 maple trees display beautiful foliage, with the area around the main hall being a popular spot for photography. Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) is available as a pre-written stamp, accompanied by postcards depicting Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon) and the Shaka Sandan (Three Buddhas of Shakyamuni).
