Facilities
If you want to witness a major memorial event, plan around the annual burial ceremony on 21 April; it draws tens of thousands of worshippers, so expect heavy crowds.
Visit outside 21 April if you prefer a quieter experience, since the temple's biggest annual ceremony brings tens of thousands of people.
This is an active Pure Land Buddhist temple tied to memorial remains, so behave respectfully and keep your visit quiet, especially near bone Buddha-related worship spaces.

Plan your visit around the annual burial ceremony on 21 April if you want to see the temple at its most alive, but be ready for tens of thousands of worshippers. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, any other day will give you far more space to move around.
This is an active Pure Land Buddhist site connected to memorial remains, so treat it accordingly. Keep your voice low, move slowly near the bone Buddha worship spaces, and follow the lead of devotees around you.
