The massive bronze Nirvana statue lying at the center of the grounds is impressive for its overwhelming presence and serene expression. Hundreds of Arhat statues line the area, and the well-maintained grounds are enveloped in tranquility. The temple offers facilities for a calm visit, including internal worship experiences, water omikuji (fortune-telling), and a wide variety of omamori (protective amulets).
