Description
After Emperor Heizei abdicated the throne, he turned this area into a secluded residence. His descendant, Ariwara no Narihira, inherited the land and started a temple here by enshrining a statue of Kannon that he carved himself. The site is home to designated important cultural properties including the statue of Kannon created by Narihira, a statue of the Five Great Myo-o, the main hall, and other structures. The temple grounds bloom with seasonal flowers such as carmellia and kadsura vine to commemorate Ariwara no Narihira.
