Joruri-ji is the only surviving temple in Japan with nine seated Amida Buddha statues lined up side by side, representing the nine levels of enlightenment a soul can achieve in the afterlife.

Tanto el salón principal de Joruri-ji como su pagoda de tres pisos son Tesoros Nacionales, lo que destaca el alto valor cultural del templo.

When the largest Amida statue underwent restoration, workers discovered ancient woodblock prints of Amida hidden inside the hollow statue since its creation in the 11th century.

El templo conserva un jardín de la Tierra Pura del período Heian, que refleja las ideas budistas del paraíso en el diseño paisajístico.
