- Chant of the temple
おん　ころころ　せんだり　まとうぎ　そわか
おん　あみりた　ていぜい　からうん

The temple was founded by 行基菩薩 Gyoki Bosatsu
on request of 聖武天皇(在位724～49) Emperor Tenmu.
Gyoki carved the two statues and built the temple to host them.
Then came 弘法大師(774～835) Kobo Daishi and held the Eye-Opening Ceremony.
During the war period of Oda Nobunaga (1558 - 70) the main hall was lost
but the two statues survived.
The present main hall was built in the Edo period.
In the compound is 大師堂 a Hall for Kobo Daishi, where his statue is kept.
