According to some old diagrams at the Hasshin-den, the main buildings enshrining each god were independent of one another, and the eight main buildings facing east extended north to south to the northwest of the sai-in in the Department of Worship.
古図によると、八神殿は各神を祀る社殿がそれぞれ独立しており、神祇官西院の西北に、東面した8つの社殿が南北に並んでいた。
