    The temple was founded by Emperor Tenmu and got its name from the time Kōbō Daishi dug a well with his staff to provide a water source for the local farmers.

    The well is called Omokage no Ido (the well of the image) and located in a little hut in the middle of the temple courtyard. It is said that if you can see your face in the water you will have a good future. If you can't, you will meet with misfortune within a few years. But, so that this isn't an easy test, the well is in a dark room.

    There are seven Yakushi statues which represent the avoidance of the seven calamities and the creation of the seven felicities. Each statue is five feet tall and was carved by Shōtoku Taishi (574-622), the son of Emperor Yōmei.

    The temple burned down in both the 14th and 16th centuries and was restored in the 17th century. The present concrete hondō was designed and built in the 1970s.
