History
Kūkai is said to have visited this site before going to China, built a grass hut, and consecrated it as a sacred place. Later, in 832, Chishō Daishi came and was told by a mysterious old man to built various buildings in the area. There is a story from 400 years ago of an ushi-oni (devil cow) which tormented the local people. An expert archer, Yamada Kurando Takakiyo, was able to kill the beast and today a statue of it is in front of the main gate. [Provided by Shikoku Japan 88 Route Guide]
