The main part starts here.
The Honzon (principal image or principal deity) is Kokūzōbosatsu (Akasagarbha), and the life-sized Enma Hō-ō (the judge at the gate of Hell) and Jūō (ten rulers of the afterlife) are enshrined. A wooden Fudō Myō-ō (Acala) with a Ganmon (Buddist prayer) of Genroku 4 (1691) is also enshrined.
Two “Komatsunagi no Ginkgo (Maidenhair trees)”, which it has been said that the horses during the hunting of Tokugawa Shogun were hitched to, are still there. Early modern landscape paintings and the plate monument of Amida Sanzon are also held by the temple.
