This large western temple is famous because it is here that the Ochamori festival is held, during which you must drink tea from a huge bowl. It was founded in 765 by the Empress Shōtoku and quickly became one of the largest temples of Nara and the heart of the sect Risshū.

The Shaka-dō, rebuilt in 1752, has a statue of Sakyamuni executed by Eizon, the temple's first abbot.

The Chio-dō, rebuilt in 1771, houses a Jūichimen Kannon and the four guardians of the Heian period.

In the Kon-dō, the statues of Miroku Bosatsu and Monju Bosatsu stand out.
