Byakugō-ji watches over the Mt. Kokuzouzan that is the ancient tomb of Prince Shikinomiko at Kōninji

Because the place, where we put our hands together towards, at Kōninji Temple is Byakugō-ji Temple (白毫寺), I went there right away.

As I had expected, the principal image of the Byakugō-ji Temple was staring up at the Mt. Kokuzōsan of Kōninji Temple, the ancient tomb mound of Emperor Tenji's seventh prince, Prince Shikinomiko (志貴皇子), Emperor Kasuganomiya.

The main hall was built directed to 186 degrees with a compass glass.

The result was just as I had guessed, so I prostrated myself on the floor in the empty main hall and greet principal image, Amida or rather I said hello to Mr. Gonsō (勤操) and Mr. Kukai (空海), hurried out of the main hall and, without even looking at the Nara Plain, went down the steps of the approach, got into a waiting taxi and said, "Please take me to Kairyuouji Temple (海龍王寺)."
