It has a history of being worshipped by many people, including warriors, and is said to offer blessings such as support in victory and happiness. The bronze statue of a winged demon-like figure in the precincts of the temple is called “Tengu,” and is believed to be a retainer of the gods and Buddha of Yakuoin.
