History
It is said to have been founded in 825 CE (Tencho 2) by Ennin (Daiji Daisai) at a sacred site in Besso Onsen where Kannon Bosatsu (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) appeared. During the medieval period, it thrived as a scholarly temple known as the 'Sea of Learning of Shinshu.' In 1694 CE (Genwa 7), it came to own and manage Hokukou Kannon as part of its temple complex.
