History
[edit]According to the temple records, the priest Gyōki received an oracle from a shrine, Sagami Myōjin (
Inscriptions on temple plaques record later visits from various emperors and shōguns, including shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu.
The building was badly damaged in the Heiji Rebellion of 1159, and later rebuilt. The main temple was burnt down in conflicts during 1578, and was not rebuilt until the daimyō of Himeji, Honda Tadamasa, agreed to aid the Ikeda clan in its reconstruction.
