History
Founded as a Tendaishu temple during the Nara period, it was revived as a Zen temple during the Kamakura period. It flourished under the patronage and protection of Ashikaga Takauji, Imagawa Yoshimoto, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. During the Edo period, because it was located directly in front of the Tokaido highway, it served as a reception site for the Joseon communication envoys and the Ryukyu envoys. It is also designated as an Important Cultural Property, a National Historic Site, and a Place of Scenic Beauty.
