History
In 807, Kūkai revisited this site and at the request of Emperor Saga (786-842), carved the main deity, and enshrined it here. During the Kamakura period (1192-1333), this temple prospered as a place of learning and numerous buildings were constructed. Later, during the 16th century, Motochika Chōsokabe visited here and, as part of this campaign to control all of Shikoku, he burned it down. [Provided by Shikoku Japan 88 Route Guide]
