The temple's restorer Kanga and successive chief abbots in the Azuchi-Momoyama Period (1568-1600), when Oda Nobunaga (1534-82) and Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598) brought about the political unification of Japan, had a close connection with the authority to control Lake Biwa and its surrounding areas. In the precincts are a lot of cultural assets including the Amida hall and shoin -style architecture. (Usually not open to the public). Source: The Kusatsu municipal government |
