Although there is a constant stream of worshipers in the hall as it is the ninth temple of the thirty-three temple Saigoku Kannon pilgrimage, the doors of the hall are always closed except on October 17, the day of an event called Daihannyakyo (Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra) tendokukai (the reading of the sutras), although there were special open days in the fall of 2002 and 2008.
堂は西国三十三箇所の九番札所として参詣人が絶えないが、堂の扉は常時閉ざされており、開扉は10月17日の大般若経転読会という行事の日のみである（2002年秋、2008年秋に特別開扉が行われた）。
