People call it 滑河観音 Namegawa Kannon.

- Chant of the temple
おとにきく　なめかわてらの　けさがふち
あみころもにて　すくふなりけり

The temple was founded in 838 by High Priest 慈覚大師 Jigaku Daishi
. Jigaku Daishi Ennin 慈覚大師仁円 (Jikaku).

During a period of long famine, the 将治公 Lord of Shoji prayed for a good harvest
and promised to place a statue of Kannon Bosatsu in a new temple.
When his wish had come true, there appeared a 朝日姫 Princess Asahi and said:
"Your wish will come true!". She led the lord to the river 小田川 Odagawa
and then disappeared.
Looking closer, there was a boat in the river with an old priest, pulling a net
where a small Kannon Statue was placed.
The Lord took the statue, had a temple built for it and prayed to it.
