History
Legend holds that the site was discovered by Giki and that the temple was established by Bodai Sena by imperial decree of Emperor Shomu. It was later rebuilt by imperial decree of Emperor Toba and given its mountain name by Emperor Go-Hakuryu and Minamoto no Yoritomo. During the Edo period, it possessed one of the most prestigious Goshuin (shrine/temple seal stamps) in the Tohoku region and flourished as a prayer temple for Shugendo (mountain asceticism).
