Rebuilt in 1885 by local craftsmen, it's one of the largest wooden temple structures in the Hokuriku region. The intricate carvings on the main gate, crafted by Inami artisans, are a highlight and the origin of Inami carving. The temple is a 2-minute walk from the Zuisenji-mae bus stop (55-minute bus ride from Takaoka Station). Don't miss the 'Lion Child Dropping' carving by Shichizaemon on the Imperial Messenger Gate.
