The main statue is Kannon Bosatsu 聖観音菩薩.
Fukutoku Kannon 福徳観音像, 17 meters high and weighs 25 tons, the largest wooden statue of Kannon in Japan, made from a tree of more than 1200 years of age. The carver took more than 20 years to make it and was completed in 1963. The face is 2.4 meters high.

The temple was built in 1912 by 佐々木宥尊 Sasaki Yūtaka , its first head priest.
In the large compound is a ground for the 88 pilgrim temples of the Henro Shikoku 四国八十八箇所
and a ground for the 33 Kannon temples of Saikoku 西国三十三所.
In spring people enjoy the cherry blossoms and in autumn the red momiji leaves, so there are always many seasonal visitors.

The 多宝塔 Tahoto Pagoda was erected in 1982.
Inside are statues of the Godai Myo-O 五代尊明王 and the Shitenno 四天王.

The 五重塔 - Five-Story Pagoda was erected in 1990. It is 26 meters high. The carpenter in charge was Kikuchi Kyooji 菊池恭二 Kikuchi Kyoji san.
