    The temple was founded by Kōbō Daishi and its honzon is the only surviving example of a reclining Buddha (Nehanzō) on the Shikoku pilgrimage. In fact, it is rare in all of Japan. It was carved by Kōbō Daishi and survived a 16th century fire that destroyed the temple when it was located in nearby Hochiga valley (Chōsokabe's work, of course). After the fire, the temple was rebuilt in its present location. Another fire in the 19th century again destroyed everything except the belfry.

    The honzon is locally popular for healing and curing illnesses of the feet and the waist.

    Frederick Starr notes that this temple is also called Hakudasan (White Snake Mountain). He also notes that in olden times the temple was eight cho deeper in the valley.
