History
It is said to have originated from the Myo-on-do hall, which was built on the bank of the pond at Kitayama-tei, the villa of Saionji Kintsune, originally located on the site of Kinkaku-ji. It was once demolished due to the construction of Kitayama-dono by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but was revived in its current location by the Saionji family during the Edo period. It survived the crisis of Haibutsu Kishaku (the abolition of Buddhism and destruction of Shinto) in the Meiji era and continued to exist as a shrine, eventually taking its current name.
