The temple grounds are lined with buildings erected in the Edo period (1603-1868), including the five-story pagoda and Nioimon gate. The temple is famous for Omuro-zakura, late-blooming cherry blossoms that are at their best from early to mid-April, and the autumn leaves that decorate the majestic five-story pagoda and other structures are exceptionally beautiful. In 1994, the area was registered as a World Heritage site.
