    The temple is located on a small hill by the seashore and was founded by Kōbō Daishi to safeguard ships at sea. The honzon was carved by him as well (one guidebook says that Gyōgi founded the temple and carved the honzon). The hill is said to be shaped like Mt. Potalaka (Jp. Fudaraku), the dwelling place of Kannon Bosatsu in southern India and known as the Pure Land of Kannon.

    {Frederick Starr says that Gyōgi founded the temple and carved the honzon.}

    Locals call the temple Minedera (Summit, or Peak, Temple). Its site is shaped like an eight-petaled lotus so the temple is also sometimes called the same name as the mountain — Hachiyōzan. Kōbō Daishi practiced the rites of gumonji here and, therefore, it is traditionally called Gumonjiin.

    The two Niō guardians at the front gate are classified as Important Cultural Properties.
