History

This temple houses five hundred wooden Arhat sculptures in Sagano, each with expressive features that speak to the hearts of visitors. Since ancient times, people have seen their own aspirations reflected in the Arhats' countenances. The wisdom and compassion emanating from their gazes touch all who encounter them.
