Joruriji Temple is also called Kutaiji (Temple of the Nine Images), for the nine images of the Amida Buddha housed in the oblong main hall. Popular among the Heian Period aristocracy, many images comprising nine Buddhas were produced back then. However, these are the only ones that remain. This important structure, with a Jodo-style garden from the Heian Period, has a peaceful and ordered atmosphere. The three-tiered pagoda rising above a dense forest as if piercing the sky, and the elegant scenery of Aji-ike Pond reflecting off the main hall, provide people of the modern age with a look at Fujiwara Culture.
