By the order of Emperor Seiwa, Fudō-dō was built by Jigaku Daishi (Ennin) as a sacred ground of the eastern barrier in the middle of the mountains. It was destroyed by a storm during the night of August 4 in 1335, and was then reconstructed at its current location by Gikai Shōnin I. Fudō-dō is Tokyo’s oldest cultural structure.

This hall is centered around the statue of Jōroku Fudōsanson, and many other cultural properties are also gathered and displayed inside. The first floor is the exhibition room, while the second floor is the storage room.

Dainichi-dō is the main hall of Takahata-san.

The interior was coated with lacquer, and Bishu-hinoki cypress wood was used. The entrance was built using a style from the Momoyama period.
