Most of temples, they keep their principal image statues in their hall with much attention.
(There are many temples that their principal image statues keep hidden.)
This temple, the principal image statues is out. But this is very clean. 🙂
And, Ebisu(the god of wealth) is here.
恵比寿さまはここに。
Just what you’d expect of a Ebisu
Ofcourse, Ebisu have gold straw ricebags 🙂

The light was so weak that it hardly enter.
Rokujizo(Six Jizo). They are under the eaves.

This is main gate. Again, I entered from not main gate 🙁
I always intend to enter from the main gate.
