History
Founded in the Nara period by the wish of Empress Koken, with the monk Joto serving as the founding abbot.

What visitors say
A quiet temple nestled within a residential area. Visitors can worship at the Main Hall, Aizen Hall, and Shi-o Hall with a single admission fee. The open atmosphere of the Main Hall and the standing statue of the Eleven-Faced Kannon in the Shi-o Hall are particularly impressive. During the lotus season, the garden is open for viewing, providing a serene environment away from the hustle and bustle for peaceful worship.
