The main hall of Zensuiji Temple is a designated National Treasure, and one of the three Konan Sanzan temples. It is a popular spot in the fall, when wonderful crimson leaves can be seen. The interior also features no less than 15 Buddha statues, including representative pieces from the Tempyo period (710 – 794) and the Heian period (794 – 1185), all of which are more than worth making the trip to see them.

Jorakuji Temple is one the three mountains of Konan that are famous for their leaves in fall. The temple treasure is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, and the temple is also home to a variety of other old cultural properties that take the form of buildings, sculptures, paintings and other works of art. Admission to the temple to pray requires a prior appointment so please inquire before your visit.

Proceed along the temple path, especially beautiful during the cherry blossom and fall leaves seasons, and you'll come to the low and impressive main temple, a National Treasure. The more recently constructed repository houses a large statue of a seated Amitabha. A selection of other beautiful buildings comprise the rest of the temple.
