The temple was founded in 958 by the Otawara clan. At that time it was near 水口 Mizoguchi, but later it was relocated.
After the building was lost in a fire, it was relocated again to its present place.
The main hall was erected in 2001, in the form of the building of the temple 秋篠寺 Akishinodera in Nara.
The main statue is Fudo Myo-O from the late Muromachi Period.

- quote -
Otawara is a city in Tochigi prefecture, famous for its beautiful nature and sightseeing spots. This article introduces some of Otawara's beautiful places, temples and activities.
From the summit of Koteyasan, the entire city can be seen in all its glory.
Running through the city is a river called Nakagawa. Otawara is famous for its fresh salt-grilled sweetfish caught in Nakagawa waters. The unique sweetness of the fish combined with its soft texture makes it an ideal snack to be eaten on its own or mixed with rice.
Unganji Temple dates back to the Heian period and is known for being one of the spots visited by Matsuo Bashō, mentioned in his traveler's journal, "Oku no Hosomichi", or "The Narrow Road to the Deep North".
In contrast to the pomp and splendor of the Unganji Temple, the charm of Daiōji Temple stands out through is elegance. Daiōji Temple adheres to the teachings of the Sōtō School (*3) of Zen Buddhism. At Daiōji Temple, you can practice Zen meditation under the guidance of a Zen priest.
