This temple is located on the site of the remains of the royashiki 牢屋敷 prison compound, where nobody wanted to live after the prison was relocated.
大倉喜八郎 Okura Kihachi (1837 - 1928) and 安田善次郎 Yasuda Zenjiro (1838 - 1921) donated the ground and the first letter of each name, （「大」 and 「安」） were used for the naming when it was built in 1882.
In the main hall is a statue of 弘法大師 Kobo Daishi from 高野山 Koyasan, hence the name Shin-Koyasan.
