In 752, the priest 実忠和尚 Jitchu renovated the temple and built 観音堂 a Kannon Hall.
The hall was later known as 正月堂 Shogatsu-Do Hall.
Around it were rich rice fields.
The temple had many buildings, but all were lost in fires.
In 楼門 the Tower Gate there are two standing statues of
広目天 Komoku-Ten and 多門天 Tamon-Ten.
These two statues are important culturel assets of the temple.
