This is a Koyasan Shingon sect temple whose principal image is a hidden statue of the Thousand-Armed Kannon Bodhisattva riding on a turtle's back. Every year between April 15th and 21st, the temple holds an opening ceremony for the hidden statue. The temple's founder, Fujiwara Sankage, is celebrated as the founder of Japanese cuisine due to the tradition of Sennichi-ryori cuisine, and every year on April 18th, a Yamakage-style knife ceremony is held.
