Field notes

Kōyōji combines a temple guide with a small cultural-heritage archive. Its grounds are organized around more than 100 Jizō statues, including the Goraikuraku Jizō associated with health and a statue intended for quietly sharing complaints, while the site also identifies the main hall as a 1714 rebuilding. A separate section records annual observances, seasonal scenery, and a dragon ceiling painting designated an important cultural property by Kanra Town.
