Konsenji Temple - Temple 3, Gyoki is said to have carved the main Buddha statue at this temple during the Tempyo era 729–749 on the orders of the Shomu Emperor, after which the temple was known as Konkomyoji. The name of the temple was changed to Konsen-ji “Golden Spring Temple” after Kobo Daishi visited the temple during the Konin era 810–824. During his visit, to relieve a drought that was affecting the area, Kobo Daishi dug a well, from which gushed forth a spring of sacred water. This temple has a two storey pagoda and an impressive large red gate. The grounds contain a small pond garden.
