The temple preserves several cultural treasures, including a portrait of Lady Kyogoku and wall paintings created by the fourth generation Kano Doshin Yoshinobu.

Located 15 minutes on foot from Obama Station on the JR West Obama Line, the temple welcomes visitors who wish to explore its buildings and gardens.

The temple holds designated cultural properties, including silk scroll paintings and wall murals dating back to 1789, reflecting the Kano school artistic style.
