This ancient temple is said to have been built more than 1,300 years ago during the time of Emperor Shomu. The main image is a Juichimen Kannon (eleven-faced Deity of Mercy), one of seven eleven-faced Kannon images in Japan which have been designated as National Treasures. The facial expression is full of youthful health and beauty. From this image one can get a feeling for the gorgeousness of the Tempyo period. The precincts are famous for their cherry blossoms. Along with the garden, which has a floating island, the visitor here can savor the atmosphere of an ancient temple.
