The design was modeled after Chusonji Temple’s Daichojuin Nikaido Great Hall and Moetsuji Temple. The buildings were arranged in a symmetrical order with Nikaido Hall in the center, Yakushi-do Hall in the north, and Amida-do Hall in the south.

The buildings were burnt to the ground in 1405 and only the name of the hall, Nikaido, remains as a place name.
