Tainai-kuguri and Tainai Hall

The Tainai Hall is a small, single-story building constructed on the side of a cliff in the upper reaches of Yamadera. Priests would reach the building by crossing a crevasse spanned by a worn, horizontal wooden ladder, and then crawling through a narrow stone grotto called the Tainai-kuguri. Tainai literally means “womb,” and passing through the grotto is considered symbolic of spiritual rebirth.

The hall was used for meditation and other ascetic practices, and enshrines six images of the bodhisattva Jizo, the savior of all sentient beings. It is closed to the public.

胎內潛與胎內堂

胎內堂是一座小型單層建築，建在山寺建築群頂端的一處懸崖邊。僧侶們過去須由架在岩縫上的古老水平木梯通過，然後爬過名為「胎內潛」的狹窄石洞才能抵達。「胎內」在日文指的是「子宮」，如同字面上的意思，人們認為穿過石洞象徵著靈魂重生。

胎內堂過去用於冥想和其他苦行，現在供奉著六尊眾生的救世主地藏菩薩佛像，不過此處並無對外開放。
