Ojo Gokuraku-in was built with a shingled, half-hipped roof, and the statue of Amida (Amitabha) Sanzon is enshrined. From the Shinden (Throne Hall), you are able to see the Yusei-en garden, which along with Joheki-en garden were built in the early Edo period by Sowa Kanamori.
Formally called, Amidado Ojo Gokuraku-in (temple hall having an enshrined image of Amitabha), it was built in the 12th century and is now considered an important cultural asset.
The surrounding cedar trees and moss landscape are very well maintained.

Sanzen-in is one of the leading temples in Kyoto.
Within the grounds are many Cherry and Maple trees that were donated. Since 1989, many new building have been constructed including Konjikifudou-do, Kannon-do and new dry landscape gardens. Presently, the Homotsu-kan (Treasure Hall) is under construction.
