    The temple was founded by Gien in 704 (Readicker-Henderson says 702) and originally called Daihō-in (although Starr says that it was founded by Gyōgi). It acquired its present name when the Ichinomiya Shrine was built in the temple compound in 716. It was later rebuilt by Kōbō Daishi at the same time he carved the honzon and enshrined it in the daishidō.

    As with most temples on the circuit, this temple burned down in the 16th century. The present temple was rebuilt in 1701. The temple is commonly called Sanuki Ichinomiya (The Shrine Temple of Sanuki). There are several small torii in the compound. Pilgrims crawl (on hands and knees) through the torii to purify themselves of bad karma and to ward off any evil influences.

    In 1679 the temple was declared separate from the Tamura Shrine on the orders of the lord of Takamatsu Castle, Yorishige Matsudaira. Of interest are three tombs dating from the 13th century and called the Ichinomiya Goryō. The nearby Tamura Shrine is considered the foremost shrine in Kagawa Prefecture. Also of interest is Ritsurin Park and Garden, known as one of the three most beautiful gardens in all of Japan.
