DescriptionKaikoji, a sub-temple of Sennyu-ji, is known for its large Shaka Nyorai affectionately called “Joroku-san.” The Main Hall enshrines the Migawari Joroku Shaka Nyorai, revered as a Buddha who takes upon itself illnesses and misfortunes affecting the head and upper body. In the quiet Sennyu-ji precincts, visitors can feel the statue’s imposing presence together with a reassuring sense of protection.
