In the next section of this room you will find a Kodama. Progress on and enter the room to the right. An enemy on a platform above will be shooting flaming arrows on you. In this room you'll also find a stone warrior. It is powerful but slower and attacks mostly in front of it, so avoid its attacks and get behind it. Defeat it and enter the next room on this same level (don't head up the short stairs just yet) to find a corpse with Spirit Stone x3 and a large chest.

Head down the left passage and beware of the patrolling yokai and stay to the left into the next room to find a crawling yokai standiing over a corpse. Loot the corpse for Arrow x3.

Defeat it and you can either head left or drop down to the next room where on oni yokai lurks. If you drop down, take out the oni and loot the corpse for Travel Amulet x1. If you don't want to drop down you can head left to the next chamber and take the stairs down. 

To your right the stone warrior on the left is animate, so you can snipe it for free damage. Take it out and take the passage to its left to find another stone warrior on the left and right just up the few steps.
