The hall is 13 meters high and 10 meters deep (into the cliff).
The width is 7 meters.

The hall was built in 806, in the precincts of a temple that was named
妙高山神光寺 Myoko-San, Jinko-Ji, a large temple complex with seven buildings.

The temple was re-build by Toyotomi Hideyoshi 豊臣秀吉 around 1580 but then lost to fire, and only the Fudo Hall remained intact.
The present hall is said to have been dedicated during the early Kamakura period. It has been repaired in 1953 and is now an important cultural property 重要文化財 of Japan.

The famous carpenters from Hida built this hall.
