- quote
Gyōgi (Gyoki) founded the temple in 724 on the orders of Emperor Shōmu and it was modeled on the famous Chinese temple Wu-t'aisan (Godaisan). Gyōgi also carved the honzon and it is considered to be one of the three best statues of Monju Bosatsu 文殊菩薩 in all of Japan. Kōbō Daishi practiced the Gumonji rites here. In the Middle Ages, this temple was a sanctuary against the feudal lords. The hondō was dedicated by Yamanouchi but blown down in a typhoon in 1900 (and later rebuilt).

The hill on which the temple is built is also called Godaisan. The temple garden and 19 images of Buddhist deities are classified as a National Treasures. The hondō is classified as an Important Cultural Property dating from the Muromachi Period. Of interest are the museum of esoteric images and the Makino Botanical Garden.

This is the only temple on the pilgrimage dedicated to Monju Bosatsu, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom.
