History
Founded during the Yojo era by the monk Taichu. It is said that Benzaiten was enshrined as part of the garan (temple complex) during the heyday of the Tendai sect's Heisui-ji temple. However, the site was destroyed during the Ikkoku Ikki uprisings and was later restored after the war by a businessman from Osaka.
