The Drum Tower is located on the right-hand side, or to the west, in front of the main hall. In ancient times, there was a saying ‘evening drums and morning bells,’ which is why the Drum Tower is typically situated in the direction where the sun sets. The Drum Tower has a square plan and tapers upwards, featuring a three-story pavilion style. The opening hours are subject to the actual operating status on the day.
