What visitors say

This temple enshrines one of the world's largest wooden Benzaiten statues, offering a breathtaking presence and a unique atmosphere. Its Goma (fire ritual) is very famous, but you should check the schedule in advance. From the temple grounds, you can enjoy a stunning view of Sakurajima volcano. The dedicated reception for pilgrims makes receiving Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seals) smooth and efficient.
