As a result, a comparison of an irimoya-zukuri style chapel to a Buddhist temple main hall of the same style would show that the line from the position of the entrance to the altar (the principal image in the case of a Buddhist main hall) is rotated by 90 degrees.
その結果、例えば入母屋造の礼拝堂を同様式の仏教寺院の本堂と比べると、入り口の位置と祭壇（本堂でいえば本尊）までの動線が90度回転した様相を呈している。
