The Octagonal Hall, which is said to have been built during the Tenpyo era, and the temple bell, which is known as the ``Three Great Bells of the Heian Period'' along with the bells of Jingoji Temple in Kyoto and Byodoin Temple in Uji, are national treasures, as well as the principal image of the Buddha, a seated wooden statue of Yakushi Nyorai, a wooden standing statue of the Twelve Generals, etc. has been designated as a national important cultural property.
I stopped by because I was nearby, but the reception area was covered with curtains and was not very popular. Although there was a guide at the reception desk about the sights to see, the bell tower was closed, so the temple bell had to be seen through the transparent wall, and the main hall had its doors closed and down to the shutters, so you couldn't see anything. However, it is a shame that only the offering mouth is left open. The Octagonal Hall was also firmly closed. During special openings in the spring and fall, you can enter the hall and take a closer look at the decorative paintings designated as nationally important cultural properties.As far as I can see from the photos on the website, it looks like the doors are open even during normal times. My guess was off. The admission fee is 500 yen even though it is so salt-friendly. Even though you can only see what you can see from the outside, it costs 500 yen. I didn't want to commit the crime of theft and fall into the black rope hell, so I reluctantly threw some money into the offertory, but to be honest, I thought I'd never come back. It is suitable for being called sheep's head dog meat. In Buddhism, it is said that if you commit the crime of lying, you will fall into hell, but I wonder what will happen to the chief priest here. Well, it's not something I'm worried about.

いろいろともう駄目です。
天平の建立とされる八角円堂と、京都の神護寺、宇治の平等院の鐘と共に「平安三絶の鐘」と呼ばれる梵鐘が国宝、本尊の木造薬師如来坐像、木造十二神将立像などが国の重要文化財に指定されています。
近くまで来たので立ち寄ったのですが、拝観受付にはカーテンがかけられていて人気がありません。受付には見どころの案内があったものの、鐘楼は閉扉されているので梵鐘は透塀ごしに出歯亀するほかなく、本堂は閉扉のうえシャッターまで下りているので何も拝めません。それなのに賽銭口だけが開いているというあつかましさです。八角円堂もしっかりと閉扉されていました。春・秋の特別公開の際は堂内に立ち入って国重文の装飾画を堂内でじっくり鑑賞できて、ホームページの写真を見る限りでは通常でも開扉はされているように見えましたが、あてがはずれました。これほどの塩対応でありながら拝観料は五〇〇円です。外から見ても見えるものしか十分には見えないのに五〇〇円です。偸盗の罪を犯して黒縄地獄に落ちたくはないので不本意ながらも賽銭口から金を投げ入れましたが、正直、二度と来ねえよと思いました。羊頭狗肉と呼ぶにふさわしい有様です。仏教では妄語(うそ)の罪を犯せば大叫喚地獄に落ちるとされていますが、こちらの御住職はいったいどうなることやら。まあ、私が心配することではありませんが。
