The solemn statue bears an expressive face and visible wood grain and has been designated a National Important Cultural Property. There is also a small garden on the grounds started as a hobby by the chief priest which blooms with the flowers of around 200 varieties of roses.

開創がはっきりとしない寺院らしい。一説では８３８年とも、一説では１２６７年とも云われています。随分と差がありますね。が、１３１４年には寺伝にも明記されている通り、地蔵堂と云う名称で存在していたと云うことは解っています。ここには昔の石仏が多数あって、南北朝時代、室町時代のものと推定されることから、いろいろな起源の説があるのだと思われます。参道は途中まではそこそこの広さのもので綺麗に清掃されていました...
