History
Tradition holds that it was founded during the Nara period by the monk Kodo. In the early modern period, it prospered under the patronage of the Tokugawa family, and the current Sanbutsu-do was completed in 1645 CE (Shoho 2) through a donation from Tokugawa Iemitsu. Based on the syncretic belief system of Shinto and Buddhism, it houses three principal images as the honji Buddhas of the three sacred mountains of Nikko.
