Nio-mon in Sanjakubo, a Deva gateIn the legend, a guardian god of the Syuyoji temple had been born as an incarnation of the Kannon in Shinano country and was called Sanjakubo. He became a priest when he was 6 or 7 years old and practiced asceticism in some temples. After a long time, he recieved miracle magic beyond human power and transformed him into a long-nosed goblin. He could fly in the sky like a crow. He flied freely to Mt. Akiha on a white fox's back.

The red gate of Syuyoji temple with the statue of a Deva king standing on either side is called Nio-mon.

It is decorated with sculptures of 4 holy animals, a dragon, a phoenix, a giraffe and a lion around the ceiling.
