    Kōbō Daishi carved he honzon of Amida Nyorai when he founded the temple in the 9th century in Jūraku Valley. The temple complex was, at one time, very large but many buildings were burned down in a large fire in the 16th century (blamed on Chōsokabe). The present hondō was rebuilt in the Meiji Period.

    One of the temple's antique treasures is a tea cup which once belonged to a general named Yukimura Sanada, one of Toyotomi's warriors in the 16th century. There is a large double tree, called the 'parent and child pine' in the compound with the larger of the two trunks dating back about 300 years.

    Starr translates the name of this temple as the Temple of Ten Paradises, but says that paradise has ten joys. Starr is asked to speak briefly to the school children at a nearby primary school. It was a holiday and there was a cold wind blowing, but about 400 students were marshaled into the school courtyard to hear him speak.
