The Unryu-zu (dragon in the clouds) painting on the ceiling of the sermon hall, which is registered as an Important Cultural Artifact, is also referred to as the Happo nirami no ryu (dragon glaring in eight directions).

4 Hirosawa Pond
Hirosawa Pond is located to the east of Daikakuji Temple and Osawa-no-ike Pond. Offering tranquil scenery and a broad view of the Sagano Mountains, the pond is famous as a place for moon viewing. Hirosawa Pond is also a popular spot for experiencing the culture and traditions of Kyoto. During the Gozan-no-Okuribi (ceremonial lighting of bonfires on five mountains), the image of the Torii Gate flame reflects brilliantly in the pond. The pond is also where residents partake in tōrō nagashi (floating lanterns to send off the spirits of their ancestors).

A bamboo walkway that continues for some 100 meters from the north side of Tenryuji Temple to near the Ōkōchi Sansō, a famous villa with various buildings registered as Cultural Properties, the Walkway is famous for its frequent use in TV dramas and commercials. The Bamboo Forest Walkway can be enjoyed year-round but a visit during mid-December when the Walkway is lit up offers a particularly fantastical experience.

The area around the Togetsukyo Bridge provides wonderful scenery that changes with the seasons; cherry blossoms in the spring, the cool river in the summer, autumn leaves in the fall, and snowy landscapes in the winter.
