The principal image, Monju Shiri Bosatsu, is unveiled at this temple known as "Nohara no Monju-sama," the guardian of wisdom. In the main hall filled with incense smoke, visitors can pray for academic success and happiness, while taking in the early-blooming plum blossoms across the grounds to feel the arrival of spring.
