A temple of a small scale but full of statues. Went there en route Hotel Gajoen Tokyo. It didn't fall us. It's sacred and serene. Quite a number of locals visiting and praying. The statue full of gold leaves was the Buddha of Heal. It's believed that the spot you adhered the gold leaf the exact spot on your body would be healed.

Appreciate the sublime Buddha statues with unique expressions and gestures. The view of rows of statues of Buddha and his 500 disciples who attained Nirvana is absolutely spectacular. Shoun Genkei(1648-1710), an early Edo period sculptor of Buddhist images, took more than ten years to create the statues. Unusual for that period, the statues realistically decipt the individual expressions and gestures of each figure. In 1970, 305 of the statues became Designated Tangible Cultural Properties of Tokyo prefecture.
