The main statue is 千手観音 Senju Kannon with 1000 Arms.

The famous Toyokawa Inari Shrine 豊川稲荷
is visited by many devotees every year and many Daruma dolls are sold there during the New Year period and on Ocotber 5th, the memorial day of Daruma san.
Toyokawa Inari Shrine is one of the three big Inari Fox shrines in Japan.
In the precincts are a Shinto shrine and a Buddhist temple.
The temple is called Empukuzan Myogonji (妙厳寺) or simply Toyokawa Kaku.
Constructed as a temple of the Soto Zen sect in 1441 by Master Tokai Gieki Zenji, it enshrines the deity
Dakini Shinten (ダキニ真天、だきに天), which was introduced by Master Kanzan Zenji (1217-1300) as a guardian deity.

The Godess Dakini appeared to him on a rough sea trip home from China and when he settled down, he carved a beautiful image of Dakini riding on a fox, carrying a sheaf of rice. She soon became the protector of the Mikawa area and many people prayed to her for good business, for having many children and other worldly benefits, especially while Mikawa was famous for its shipbuilding industry during the Edo period.
The famous magistrate of Edo, Ooka Echizen, who came from Mikawa, was one of the strong believers in Dakini Shinten and had a temple in her honor installed in the precincts of his home in Edo.
