後ろ向き門
本門は、元は大山寺本坊であった西楽院の表門の役割を果たしていました。しかしながら、1875年に寺号廃絶となり神社となった時に、門は奥宮の門を作るために移設させられました。現在の場所に動かされたとき、方向を調整しなかったので、門は後ろ向きになっています。

Backward-Facing Gate
This gate originally functioned as the front gate of the Sairakuin Hall, which was the main monks’ residence at Daisenji Temple. In 1875, however, the temple was closed and turned into a Shinto shrine, and the original temple gate was moved to become the gate of the inner shrine. The gate is back to front relative to the shrine, since when it was moved to its present site, its orientation was not adjusted.
