History

Founded in 587 CE by a Chinese-origin lay practitioner named Fūrin Dokushū. The temple received its mountain name and temple name by imperial decree from Emperor Saga, who recognized its efficacy in prayers for rain during droughts. It was revived in 1254 by Prince Munetaka and later restored again during the Kenmu era by Ashikaga Takauji.
