Currently located on the eastern side of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, it was founded by Ryōgen, the abbot of Enryaku-ji, in 938 in the Funaokayama neighborhood, south of Daitoku-ji. It was one of four temples that had an okurodo (御黒戸), a private Buddhist chapel for the Imperial Family, originally located in the Imperial Palace. These temples, the others being Nison-in, Hanjū-in, and Kengō-in, belong directly to the Imperial Household. The temple was protected from destruction by a nyōbō hosho, an official document recording the orders and words of the emperor written by the female court member, Madenokoji Fusako, during Oda Nobunaga assault on Kyoto temples, specifically the Tendai branch, and the siege of Mount Hiei. In 1573 it was moved to its present location on Teramachi Street as part of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's reorganization of Kyoto. The reconstruction was completed under the directive of Emperor Kōkaku.
