On 1181, Priest Mongaku, who had been exiled due to rebel crime, had opened this temple and he had been in this temple for 3 years and 9 months for severe training.

Priest Mongaku was originally a warrior, and he loved a girl, though she was married to another man. Therefore, he tried to kill her husband but he killed her for mistake. Then, he realized the depth of the crime, and became a priest.
