History and things to know
According to the temple's tradition, it was founded by Gyōki Bosatsu in Jinki 2 (725), and its predecessor was "Anyō-in," a place of Shingon esoteric practice where Kōbō Daishi stayed in the Tenchō era. After a fire in Hōen 6 (1140), its buildings were restored in Kyūan 1 (1145) as a prayer temple of Emperor Konoe, and it was renamed Kyūan-ji. Its tower gate, a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, remains, and it is said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi visited in the Azuchi-Momoyama period.
