Desafortunadamente, todos los edificios son reconstrucciones de los edificios debido a daños anteriores ocasionados por la guerra. Durante la construcción, se tuvo especial cuidado en no distorsionar el diseño original. Los templos exteriores se pueden ingresar de forma gratuita. Las áreas interiores que albergan un hermoso jardín, una casa del tesoro y una pagoda de cinco pisos, cuentan con un costo extra para la entrada.
El jardín fue diseñado en base a descripciones del paraíso occidental del Buda Amida y es un cambio al paisaje urbano de Osaka. Es especialmente hermoso y vale la pena verlo en primavera, cuando las numerosas flores de cerezo están en plena floración.
