Between the Meditation Pavilion and the Temple you will see a large koi pond.
If you are lucky you may encounter Mr. Harada, the temple's caretaker who will tell you about the history and architecture of the temple.
You may also encounter temple Bishop Hosen Fukuhara who has taught the sparrows to fly up and eat sesame cookie crumbs from his palm. Bishop Fukuhara will show you how you can get the birds to eat from your hand.
