The 厂别苍蝉艒-箩颈 temple precinct begins at this majestic gate, from which hangs an enormous 肠丑艒肠丑颈苍 (lantern); look under this to see a beautiful carved dragon. On either side are a pair of ferocious protective deities: F奴jin, the god of wind, on the right; and Raijin, the god of thunder, on the left. Kaminari-mon has burnt down countless times over the centuries; the current gate dates to 1970.
