At the front entrance of Nangu-ji Shrine, there is Jingu-ji Temple, which in modern times claimed to be a branch temple of Eimei-ji Temple in Muramachi and now calls itself Kokuzo-in Temple of the Omuro School of Shingon Buddhism. Here, 600 volumes of the prefectural designated important cultural property, Daihannya Sutra (200 volumes each stored in 3 chests) are complete and are extremely valuable. According to this, it was dedicated to Nangu Daimyojin in Oei 22-29 (１４１５-1415) by Chuko and others of Shokokuji Temple in Kyoto. Furthermore, the Shaka and the sixteen good deities statue is also used as the principal image when sutra chanting "Daihannyakyo".
