The temple was founded in 851 by 慈覚大師円仁 Jikaku Daishi Ennin.
. Jikaku Daishi Ennin 慈覚大師仁円 (794 - 864) . .

The wife of 文徳天皇 Emperor Montoku (regent from 826 - 858) could not have children for a long time.
Jikaku Daishi went to Takada in Yokohama, where a special well was found.
The Empress became well soon after drinking the water.
She then had three children. After each birth, she sprinkled some of the water on the head of the baby.
When the third boy was born, she sprinkled water again and the water begun to shine on his head.
The third child later became 清和天皇 Emperor Seiwa Tenno (858 - 876).
Emperor Montoku ordered to have a temple build near the well.
This temple became known as 塩谷寺 Enkoku-Ji.
The temple later became desolate.
Around 1649, it was revived and the farmers came here to pray.
Since the farmers kept many horses, they had a statue of Bato Kannon with a Horse Head made to pray to.
At the place of the former Main Hall there is now 薬師堂 a Hall for Yakushi Nyorai.
In 1964, a kindergarden was opened in the compound, 光明幼稚園 Komyo Yochi-En.

The Kannon Statue used to be at 親沢 Oyazawa.
If the door of the hall was left open, the Kannon got out and walked to the swamp.
Therefore the door is never opened and the statue is called "Kannon behind a door that is not opened".
