Central Golden Hall is the focal point of the Kohfukuji compound and the temple's most important structure. Repeatedly destroyed by fire and rebuilt since its construction, the Central Golden Hall was rebuilt in 2018, after 300 years. The Hall contains Buddhist images, most notably a seated Shaka Nyorai, which is the temple's principal object of worship, as well as the Four Heavenly Kings (a National Treasure), among others.
