The statue was given from 比叡山女人禁制 Mount Hieisan of the temple that was forbidden for women in Gifu.

In 1230 the Head Priest had a dream vision, where Yakushi told him:
「一切病苦の衆生、我が前に来たらば諸病悉く除くべきに、来也(こぬか)、来也。」

In 1688, the Zen prest 鉄面禅師 Tetsumen Zenshi restored the temple.
The statue of Yakushi Nyorai was given to 織田信長 Oda Nobunaga by 斎藤道三 Saito Dosan.
At the end of the Edo period the 蛤御門 Hamaguri Gomon Gate was lost to fire.
In 1888 the priest 竺丈禅師 Jikujo Zenshi revived the temple with the help of the
近衛家 Konoe Family and the 三井家 Mitsui family.
At that time during the digging for a well a statue of Daikoku was found
and the village nearby was now called 大黒町 Daikoku town.
In 2012, the temple was added to the
京都十二薬師霊場めぐり Pilgrimage to 12 Yakushi Temples in Kyoto.
