Pohyon Temple was once entered through a series of three ceremonial gates, though visitors now enter through a gate at the temple's side. The outer gate, Jogye Gate (), was built in 1644 and houses two Deva statues; it is now closed to through traffic. Between this gate and Haetal Gate (, "Gate of Nirvana"), the temple's middle gate, is a long, tree-lined path lined with commemorative stele detailing the temple's history. Some of these still bear shrapnel scars from the Korean War. The inner gate of Pohyon Temple is Chonwang Gate , "Gate of the Four Heavenly Kings"), which contains statues of the Buddhist deities of the same name.
