Taidō became a thatched temple only with its form in the Edo period. The name "Taidō" was said to be derived from its large scale with seven temple buildings (shichidō-garan) during the Nanbokuchō period (the Period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties). Many worshippers visited the temple from Edo particularly to see the temple bell, which is considered to have been founded during the Nanbokuchō period. A seated Amida Nyōrai, which is considered to have been created at the end of the Kamakura period, also attracted worshippers.
