Description   

Ahead of Hojo is a small pond called Myoko-chi (chi means a pond). It was designed by Priest Muso, the founding priest who was also famous as a garden designer. The best known garden designed by him, perhaps, is that of Saihoji (sigh-hoh-gee) in Kyoto. Today's Myokochi is muddy, however, and must be quite different from the original one. It was remodelled in March 2001 and the rock in the center is called "Tiger's head rock."

A house standing over the pond is said to be the incumbent chief priest's residence.
