It is a sub-temple of the nearby 像法寺 Zoho-Ji.
When 源頼朝 Yoritomo ni Minamoto was on the move to the North from 仁衛門島 Niemon Island
he stopped here to pray for victory "心願成就のあかつきには御本尊の修復を致す".
When Yoritomo started the Kamakura Government,
he ordered a statue of Dainichi Nyorai for the Temple.
The statue is kept in the temple to our day.

This Amida statue came from 鶴峯八幡神社 Tsurumine Hachiman Shrine.
