I saw it while walking on foot from Katsuyama Station in China and worshiped. There was a torii gate near the precincts, and when I thought it was a shrine, it was actually a temple of the Rinzai sect. The statue of Holy Kannon, the principal image, seemed to be an important cultural property designated by the prefecture. In addition, a monument called Shirakikuzuka stood in the precincts.
