While going up the stone steps, there is the main hall (Kanjodo) (built in the Kamakura period, national treasure) whose principal image is Nyoirin Kannon and, above it, the five-storied pagoda (built in the early Heian period, national treasure), and the stone steps lead to the inner temple: Miedo hall (built in the first half of the Muromachi period, important cultural property) which enshrines Kukai.
さらに石段を上ると如意輪観音を本尊とする本堂（灌頂堂）（鎌倉時代、国宝）、その上に五重塔（平安時代初期、国宝）があり、石段は空海を祀る奥の院御影堂（みえどう、室町時代前期、重文）へと続いている。
