To-in is the most sacred place in Miidera, serving as the mausoleum of Chisho Daishi, the founder of Miidera. Its name comes from the fact that Emperor Seiwa bestowed the Imperial Jijuden Palace to store the scriptures and religious implements brought back from the Tang Dynasty by Daishi, and it was used as a place for teaching the Dharma and for ordinations. A special viewing of the usually private sanctuary buildings is now available through a VR recreation that includes the interiors.
