A Tendai sect temple located in Konan City, Shiga Prefecture, and counted as one of the Three Mountains of Konan. It features historical structures such as the National Treasure main hall and the Zensui Gen-sui (Good Water Source Water), which is said to have cured Emperor Kanmu's illness.

History

Established during the Wado era of the Nara period by imperial decree from Empress Genmei as a place of practice for national protection. In the early Heian period, Saicho visited to perform rain-praying rituals and converted the temple into a branch of Enryakuji Temple. It escaped damage during Oda Nobunaga's burning of Mount Hiei, and the National Treasure main hall remains to this day.
