Steps from the southern end of the Amanohashidate footbridge, this busy temple is home to an Important Cultural Property pagoda from the Muromachi period (late 1500s). The temple's o-mikuji (fortunes; ¥300) are shaped like tiny folding fans, which is terribly photogenic when they're hung by the thousands from the branches of daintily pruned pines around the precincts.
