10.The warihaiden with kato-mado windows
We see the kato-mado windows of Zen sect temples at right and left walls of this warihaiden, the outer shrine with earth floor in the middle. A kato-mado window looks like a bell. Myoken Srine was originally a temple that people believed in Sudrsti Bodhisattya and is known as the shirne mixed with the temple. Myoken Shrine is located on the northwest of Honsho-ji temple to protect it from evil spirit.
