Legend says that after Kobo Daishi established 高野山 Koyasan he venerated the deity 弁天 Benten, who floated down in a 宝舟 Treasure Boat. The Kofuku 高福 Great Joy of this event was the origin of the temple name.
During the Edo period the temple was relocated from Koyasan to the park of the mansion of 松平讃岐守候 Lord Matsudaira from Sanuki (now the 庭園美術館 Engei Bijutsukan Garden Museum).
The Statue of Benten pulling the boat (舟引きの弁天さま funabiki Benten) is now a secret statue. She has protected the temple many times from destruction by fire.
