Akaido

The Akaido is a wooden structure before the main hall that houses a well and a small shrine. The Akaido was built in the late Edo period (1603–1867), likely around the same time as the Kisomon Gate. Temple priests would draw water from the well to offer to the deities as part of their daily routine of cleaning the temple and grounds. The well is no longer in use, but visitors can see the wooden buckets and a simple rope-and-wheel pulley system used to draw water.

Behind the well is a shrine dedicated to Suiten, the deity of water and one of the twelve guardian deities in Buddhism. Suiten is the Buddhist equivalent of the Hindu deity Varuna (deity of the sea). The eaves of the Akaido are decorated with detailed carvings of dragons and turtles amongst waves. The Akaido is a Nationally Registered Tangible Cultural Property.

閼伽井堂

閼伽井堂是本殿（正殿）前的一座木構建築，裡面有一口水井和一座小佛堂，是國家登錄物質文化財產。它建於江戶時代（1603-1867）晚期，可能與貴惣門同時期建造。過去寺院的僧侶們在每天清掃寺廟時，會從這口井中打水供奉神明，不過現已不再使用，但遊客依然可以看到用來汲水的木桶和一個簡單的繩索滑輪系統。

水井後面是一個供奉水神「水天」的小佛堂。水天是佛教密宗中12位守護神之一，也是印度教海神伐樓拿在佛教裡的名字。閼伽井堂的屋簷下精細地雕刻著龍和海龜在海浪間巡邏的情景。
