The previous paper discussed the structures of 18 mountain monasteries at Hieizan-Enryakuji during the Tokugawa period. This paper discusses three renowned monasteries, Nankōbō, Shougaku-in, and Nichizou-in. Nankōbō burnt down in 1833. A comparison of the blueprints of Shougaku-in and Nichizou-in, planned as the replacements for Nankōbō, reveals Nankōbō’s role as a villa of Rinnōji-miya, the prince who ruled the whole of Tendai Buddhism through the Tokugawa period, including the requested rooms and the zoning according to the status of the users. Rich information in the blueprints has helped elucidate the everyday activities of the mountain-dwelling religious community in that period.
