You enter the complex from the west through the simple temple gate ( 山門 Sanmon ; in plan 1) and then have the main hall ( 本 堂 Hondō ; 2) in front of you. In the bell tower ( 鐘楼 Shōrō ; 3) next to the main hall hangs a bell with the year 10th year Taihei ( 太平 十年 ) in the calendar of the Liao dynasty , that is the year 1030. The bell that was cast in Korea is registered as an Important Cultural Property of Japan . The bell originally belonged to the Fusai-ji ( 普 済 寺 ) in Ube ( Yamaguchi Prefecture ). When the temple was demolished, the bell was buried in the ground for a long time. It was only discovered when the Chōshū-Han built a dam there. To the south of the main hall is the Kannon Hall ( 観 音 堂 Kannon-dō ; 4). It is crowned with an octagonal structure.
The grave of the haiku poet Uejima Onitsura (1661–1738) is located in the cemetery (F ).
In the north there is the "Kakuman-ji Juraku-in" ( 鶴 満 寺 聚 楽 院 ), an old people's home (S).
