The temple grounds feature Kokotake, or 'filial piety bamboo,' where parent and child bamboo stalks grow intertwined. This natural formation has become a symbol of family happiness for pilgrims visiting the 48th sacred site.

O templo está ligado a uma lenda de Kobo Daishi em que ele encontrou água aqui, conectando Sairin-ji a uma figura venerada no Budismo Shingon.
