History
It is said that when Kobo Daishi opened Yudono-san, he carved an image of Koshu Daikokuten and enshrined it at Daishi-ji, the head temple of Yudono-san, following a divine revelation received when inviting the Dainichi Nyorai. During the Meiji era's separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the main deity of Daishi-ji, Dewa Sanzan Gongen, along with Koshu Daikokuten, were transferred to Hoshuji.
