What visitors say
The Sanbutsu-do enshrines three large statues: Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon), Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha), and Batou Kannon (Horse-Head Kannon), characterized by their imposing presence and sacred atmosphere. The temple grounds feature the Shoyo-en, a strolling garden with a pond and water features, where autumn foliage is particularly enjoyable. Joint tickets for the Sanbutsu-do, Daiyu-in, and the Treasure House are also available.
