Carved directly into the rock and adorned with cinnabar paint, delicate makeup, and gold leaf, the stone Buddha emits a faint golden shimmer, considered an epitome of Japan's Silk Road art. Apart from the main hall's Senju Kannon Statue, Oya Temple's adjacent halls boast nine distinct Buddha sculptures, making it an iconic site of Japanese stone Buddha art.
