In the mid-12th century, Minamoto no Yoshitsugu, the ancestor of the Ashikaga clan, established his residence here. In 1196, Ashikaga Yoshikane built a private Buddhist hall. In 1234, Ashikaga Yoshitsune organized the temple grounds, establishing it as the family temple of the Ashikaga clan. During the Northern and Southern Courts period, it came under the jurisdiction of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu. Today, it serves as the head temple of the Dainichi sect of Shingon Buddhism.
