The temple is especially known for its principal image, a large seated statue of Monju Bosatsu riding a lion, created in the Kamakura period and designated as a National Treasure. This image is understood to be part of a group composition, reflecting the artistic and religious developments of medieval Japan.

The grounds also include historical features such as burial mounds traditionally linked to the Abe family and seasonal displays that shape the atmosphere of the site. For visitors, Abe Monju-in offers a clear introduction to Monju worship, Buddhist sculpture, and the cultural landscape of Sakurai.
