A pair of stone Nio Guardians stand at the start of the traditional temple approach below the

parking lot, from where a ten minute ascent up a flight of steps takes you to the main temple buildings.

Among them are the Gomado Hall which is dedicated to Fudomyo, a protector of Buddhism, and the

Okunoin.
