History

It is said to have been founded in 863 CE (Jogan 5) by Otsuki Imao. Another theory suggests it was established by Saicho and served as the betto-ji (administrative temple) of Nabaka Shrine. During the medieval period, it flourished as the family temple of the Otsuki clan, but during the Sengoku period, it came under the control of the Rokkaku clan and was burned down during the burning of Mount Hiei in 1578 CE (Genki 2).
