The little temple gate is located a good distance from the temple itself. It stands athwart the pilgrim’s trail beside a red bridge over the main road. Both the main road and pilgrim’s trail lead up to a large bronze statue of Kūkai on the road. Stone steps on the left take you up to the temple precincts. If you go straight, there’s a washbasin on your right, and the main hall is further up the steps. The principal image of Yakushi Nyorai made by Gyōki can’t be seen.

Going back to the washbasin, with the main hall behind you, the Daishi Hall is on your right. The principal image of Kūkai in the Daishi Hall is said to be his own work. Statues of the eight founders of Shingon are arranged as attendants. In the Daishi Hall is a painting of Kūkai casting his tokkosho across the sea from China to Japan, symbolising the transmission of esoteric wisdom. In front of the Daishi Hall is the Gobokō Hall which has a hidden statue of Kūkai’s mother, Tamayori Gozen. The temple office is on the left of the guest hall on the opposite side from the Daishi Hall.

The Jizō Hall looks like a stable for horses. In it, statues of Buddha’s Ten Principal Disciples are enshrined on the left, and Jizō statues are enshrined on the right. In the grounds there’s also a belfry and a tree said to have been planted by Kūkai.
