Designated a national treasure of Japan, the Shodendo hall is the centrepiece of this temple, which is particularly popular among worshippers looking for luck in love. Paying the ¥700 entrance fee is worth it, as the hall is decorated with a variety of curious-looking sculptures. Book a free guided tour (in English) to find out what they stand for.
