It is a symbol of Yoshinoyama and the head temple of the Kinmineyama Shugen Honshu sect. About 1300 years ago, it was opened by the founders and actors of Shugendo.
Yoshinoyama's cherry blossoms have become sacred trees because Zao Gongen, which was felt by the actor, was carved into a cherry tree, and believers planted cherry blossom seedlings one after another in prayer and protected.
The main hall of Zao-do is dedicated to three statues of Kongo Zao Gongen, Japan's largest secret Buddha statue. It is specially opened for a limited time every year for the National Treasure Niomon Grand Repair.
