The magnificent, tall shrine pavilion of Dosojin is about seven meters high, and from the upper section, the sacred trees protrude another ten or more meters. As for its width, the pavilion is eight square meters at its top beam, while the roof is equivalent to nearly forty tatami mats. Because construction of the shrine is dangerous work, participants have to refrain from drinking alcohol and complete the work in silence. The preparation work continues until late at night on the 14th, and is finished in the morning of the 15th.
