    Two English guidebooks say that the temple was founded by Tamaoki, the official ruler of Iyo, in 701. A Japanese guidebook says that it was founded by En no Gyōja. In Kōbō Daishi's time, eight paths led up the mountain to the temple and hence the name, the Temple of Eight Slopes. The statue of Amida, attributed to Eshin Sōzu of the 11th century, and the statue of Bishamon-ten, of 13th century origin, are classified as Important Cultural Properties. The temple also preserves a stone pagoda (Tahōtō) and Hōkyō-in style stupa from the same time period.

    This temple belongs to the Daigo-ha sect of Shingon Buddhism, and because this is the sect which practices Shugendō, the temple is traditionally an important site for this practice. It is dedicated to the gods (Gongen) manifested at Mt. Kumano in Wakayama-ken.

    Inside the temple are hundreds of small statues of Amida, all donated by visitors.
