"Tonomine Ryakki" (Abbreviated Records of Tonomine) (1197), which was written well over 100 years after this time, explains that the then Yamada-dera Temple became a branch temple of Tonomine-dera Temple (present-day Tanzan-jinja Shrine), its building fell to ruin and that only the sites of some parts of the building remained.
その百数十年後の記録である『多武峰略記』（建久8年・1197年）によると、当時の山田寺は多武峰寺（現在の談山神社）の末寺となり、伽藍は荒廃して、一部建物は跡地のみになっていたことがわかる。
