Temple history :
According to legend, this temple was founded by Gyoki in the 8th century but some historical evidences but historical evidence seems to point to its construction during the Kamakura period (13th century). According to legend, Kukai carved the main deity (Honzon) of Amida Nyorai, the deity of light. Kukai remained 21 days in this temple to recite sutras. It would thus help a woman who had difficulty giving birth. The temple was destroyed by fire during the war at the end of the 16th century during the era Tensho. The main hall (hondo) was rebuilt in 1659.
