History
Founded during the Asuka period, it is one of the oldest temples in Kyoto and was formerly known as Yasaka-ji. In 1240 CE (Ninji 1), the monk Soso Shoju entered the temple, revitalized it, and established it as a Zen temple under the Kennin-ji branch of the Rinzai school. The current temple name, Hokanji, dates from this time.
