This temple belongs to the Soto sect. Its honzon (principal images of Buddha) are Shakamuni-butsu, Genza Dojo Honzon (seated Buddha), and Yakushi Ruriko Nyorai. The interior of the main hall is mainly comprised of tatami mats. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, here one can gain a flavor of the four seasons in a quiet environment.

The room in which the representative author of Japan’s proletarian literature, novelist Kobayashi Takiji, secretly resided, is still preserved as it was at that time, with a small bowl, a foot warmer, a tea cupboard and a padded kimono. The hot spring has a strong alkalinity which is aboveｐH 10.0, so a smooth, gentle feel on the skin is characteristic.Day trip to spa 11am-11pm
