The construction of Yakushijion the site of Asuka, the South part of Nara, in the Fujiwara Capital, was not completed before the Emperor's death. During the long term of the construction, Temmu died, and his Empress acceded to the throne and was called Jito. In fact the actual construction was taken under her reign, and the dedication ceremonyfor enshrining the chief Buddha, Yakushi Nyorai, was held in 697. The whole compound was completedin 698. But it was only 10 years later that the capital was moved to the North of Nara in 710 , and Yakushiji was also moved to the present site in 718. The splendid layout of buildings including Kondo (main hall), Kodo (lecture hall) , the East Pagoda and West Pagoda were quite the reapperance of the paradise on the ground.
