History and things to know
According to shrine tradition, it originated as Haji Jinja, where Nomi no Sukune, having been granted the Haji surname and lands, enshrined his distant ancestor Ame no Hohi no Mikoto. After Michizane's death, a wooden statue he left behind was enshrined and Haji-dera was renamed Dōmyō-ji, it is said. With the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in Meiji 5, the temple moved to the west and was separated from the shrine.
