The Gyōmandō is in the tradition of Tsubaki Ō Kami Yashiro (Mie, Japan), combining Shinto and Buddhist sacred items.

The kami enshrined here are Sarutahiko no Ō Kami and Ame no Uzume no Mikoto. The statue depicts Guru Rinpoche.

This secluded building is used for private meditation, and for veneration of ancestors and others who have passed.
