This ancient temple is said to have been founded by the monk Gyoki at the request of Emperor Shomu in 731. There are many things to see here, including the 13-story stone pagoda, designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, and the seated Amida Buddha statue that is the main image of the temple, as well as the rare Ibuki juniper tree and the five-ringed pagoda that enshrines the daughter of Emperor Goshirakawa and her maids.
