After going through a Deva Gate (rebuilt in modern times) and going up the first steep stone steps (named Yoroizaka), the golden hall (built in the Heian period, national treasure) appears in the center and Mirokudo hall (built in the Kamakura period, important cultural property) is on the left.
仁王門（近代の再建）をくぐり、最初の急な石段（鎧坂という）を上がると、正面に金堂（平安時代、国宝）、左に弥勒堂（鎌倉時代、重要文化財）がある。
