Bu konum hakkında: Horyu-ji Yumedono
Horyu-ji'nin doğu alanındaki Yumedono (Rüyalar Salonu), Prens Shotoku'nun Ikaruga Sarayı'nın yerinde 739'da inşa edilen sekizgen bir salondur. Gizli Guze Kannon heykelini (Asuka dönemi) barındırır, yalnızca sınırlı ilkbahar ve sonbahar açılışlarında görülebilir. Dengeli sekizgen silueti mimari bir hazinedir.
