Straw sandals are enshrined to the main gate together with small coins

The main gate of No.28 Dainichi-ji is simple without Nio-statues. I found some small straw sandals are enshrined together with some small coins. There were no on around here, and I could visit in a very quiet and solemn atmosphere.

The bell seems to be quite old
