- Chant of the temple
おん　ろけい　じんばら　きりく　

The temple was founded in 812 by 弘法大師 Kobo Daishi Kukai.

When he walked nearby on his way to 伊勢神宮 the Shrine of Ise Jingu,
he found a golden rope, heard the beautiful voice of a rooster and found a bottle of ritual water.
These "three auspicious treasures" led to the name Kinjuuzan 金縄山 "Mountain of the golden rope".
It was later shortened to kanenawa 金縄 "golden rope" and then called 今井山 Imaizan.

On the second floor of the bell tower there are on the left and right statues of
