History and things to know
According to the temple's tradition, it was opened by Kōbō Daishi in Kōnin 12 (821) as a place to pray for the peace of the nation. It originally stood halfway up Mount Dake to the south, but its halls burned in war, and after the battle of Kanshō 4 (1463) it is said to have moved to its present site and been revived.
