History

​

• This place was once the residence of Jianzhen, the propagator of Buddhism in Japan, after his arrival in Japan in 753 A.D.

• In 810 A.D., Kukai, founder of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, proposed the construction of an octagonal pagoda. Our principal image, the "Fuku-kensak-kannon," was enshrined at this time.

• In the Kamakura period (1185-1333), several high priests led by Eison often used FUKUIN to promote a 'revitalization of precepts.'

• In the Taisho period (1912-1926), the priest Kogen Mitani rebuilt the main hall. He later earned the devotion of the local 'Naramachi geisha' as they visited the shrine to pray for the spirit to properly make, and end, relationships, leading to the shrine becoming regarded as a women's refuge.
