The temple is accessible by local transportation or car from Uda city center, with parking available on the grounds. Wear sturdy shoes as the pathways between buildings are uneven and can become slippery when wet or during rainy seasons.
The temple has dedicated meditation spaces where monks perform daily practice using traditional Buddhist methods passed down through generations. Many visitors miss the fact that these spaces show visible activity during specific times of day when practice sessions are underway.
