¿Por qué deberías ir?
- Arrive during reception hours (10:00-16:00) if you need assistance or want to make a formal prayer, though the temple grounds are open 24 hours and you can view the statues and architecture freely outside these times.
- Touch the bright red Obinzuru-sama statue in front of Donryu Hall by placing your hand on the same body part where you're experiencing discomfort, as locals believe this healing Buddha figure can cure illnesses when touched.
- Visit on the 8th of any month to experience Donryu Day, when the temple grounds fill with street performers, traditional storytelling (nankingtamasudaré), and flea markets, but expect significantly larger crowds than usual days.
