The site has the main building, big study room, reception room, library and bell room, overlooking Suruga Bay.

Every temple has a bell tower, which is used during New Years Eve.

The bell at the temple rings 108 times on New Year's eve, corresponding to the Buddhist concept of 108 worldly desires..

I found this was a beautiful wooden bell tower

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
