History

Founded in 740 CE (Tenpyo 12), this ancient temple is traditionally said to have had its halls renovated by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. During the Kamakura period, it received the patronage of Minamoto no Yoritomo, leading to the construction of a seven-hall complex. In the Muromachi period, it was protected by the Murakami clan. During the Edo period, it was under the protection of the Matsushiro Domain and relocated to its current site in 1599 CE (Keicho 14).
