　There was a bell tower with a large bell next to the right side of Dewa Shrine (Sanjinaisaiden) at the top of Mt. Haguro. In October 2023, when we visited, scaffolding was assembled to surround the bell tower and covered with construction film, but we could see the huge bell. This bell tower is said to be the second oldest building after the five-storied pagoda in Mt. Haguro. It's a big bell as you can see, but it's the second largest before the Middle Ages after Todaiji Temple.
