Ojogokurakuin Temple is an important cultural property.

And inside the temple hall there is a national treasure, the statue of Amida Buddhas.

The ceiling of the hall is characterized by its being folded up in a boat-bottom shape to accommodate the large statues of Amida Buddhas.

The ceiling is also decorated with scenes of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, such as dancing celestial maidens and bodhisattvas.

It is a simple but somewhat dignified hall that can be said to be the center of Sanzenin temple.

It’s boasts a history of approximately 1,200 years.
