Tenryu-ji's Tahouden was built in 1934 under the guidance of the temple's abbot at the time, Master Seki Seitoshi. Although it is a modern building, it was built in the Kamakura period (1185-1333) in the “irimoya-zukuri” style, which is said to be a reproduction of the Shikikakuden style used by Emperor Godaigo during his Yoshino Gyogu period (1336-1573). The Tahouden Hall is a shrine where a wooden statue of Emperor Godaigo is enshrined, and on either side of the statue in the center are enshrined the tablets of successive emperors. On the south side, there is a hall of worship, and in front of the hall, there is a mukai with a one-ken staircase, which leads to a large porch. It is said that Emperor Go-Daigo used this place as a study place when he built the detached palace for Emperor Kameyama. Furthermore, it is connected to the northwest of the Ko Hojo by a covered corridor, which crosses a stream, the Oizumi River. In spring, the magnificent weeping cherry trees in the front garden are in full bloom, attracting many visitors and tourists.
