- quote
The temple was founded in 1181.
With the Suzuka Mountain Range in the background,
you can see tea plantations in front of you, Ise Bay in the distance,
and the view is spectacular as it is located on a hill 200 meters above sea level
that overlooks the Shima Peninsula, Kamishima, and Chita Peninsula.
It also has the prefecture's oldest temple bell (a prefecture-designated cultural property).
It is also famous as a cherry blossom viewing spot.
