Abstract
Among the temples that founded from the late 16C to the early 17C in Daitokuji, the Kyakuden (Buddhist ceremotial and guest house) are remained only in Obaiin and Gyokurinin. The Kyakuden in Obaiin built at 1588, and there are an inscription, which found out on the our research. Gyokurinin was founded at 1603, but that building burnt down at 1609. And the rebuilding of the Kyakuden carried out from 1609 to 1621. Subssequently, there was an alteration that was owing to enlarge Butsuma (the Buddhist sanctuary-room) in the both Kyakuden. I found that there was a utility space at the rear of Bustuma before the alteration. This space was the closet and the bed-room of an abbot, and was attached to Ojoin (the abbot' sliving-room) in the Kyakuden. Subsequently, the abbot's particular living house were built in the same temple, and the function of the formar utility space were moved into the latter living house.
