He said he had a statue of Fudo Myo-O in his backpack, which Roben had given to his ancestors long ago. It was now in the 25th generation in it possession. When Roben gave it to his ancestor, he said it would protect the family from burglers, robbers and all kinds of disasters.

The temple burned down around 1820 and was later rebuilt.
In 1874, it was one of the first temples with a 公立小学校 public elementary school in the compound, reflecting its long history as a terakoya 寺子屋　temple school.

The main statue is 薬師如来 Yakushi Nyorai - Kosodate Yakushi 子育薬師 Yakushi to bring up children.

The temple was related to the temple 中野村宝仙寺 Hosen-Ji in Nakano.
The temple is now part of the New 100 Scenic Spots of Tokyo, famous for its cherry blossoms.

The daughter 和子 Masako of Shogun 徳川秀忠 Tokugawa Hidetada was cured of an eye illness after praying here, so this Yakushi is now known to cure eye diseases.

The statue of Yakushi is said to have been carved by Kobo Daishi, with 如意輪観音 Nyoirin Kannon at the back side, as a double-statue, covered with gold.
The statue belonged to the 新田氏 Nitta clan in the Kamakura period and was then lost.
Much later in the 南北朝 Nanboku period in 1586 a monk named Gyoshun built a hermitage to pray for peace of the country. At night he could see a special light at the bottom of a plum tree and when he took a closer look at the place, he found the statue of the Nitta clan.
The name of the temple reflects this episode:
Bai Sho In 梅照院 Hermitage of the Shining Plum Tree
The statue is now secret, shown only every 12 years in the 寅年 Year of the Tiger.

Once upon a time
there was a huge willow tree, reaching almost to the sky. This is the origin of the village name
"village of the huge willow tree".
Legend knows that when 弘法大師 Kobo Daishi passed here, he rammed his tsue 杖 walking staff in the ground and it begun to grow.
During the construction of 京都の三十三間堂 the Sanjusan Gendo Hall in Kyoto they needed large trees and this willow was to be cut down. Many workers came to help carry it away, but it would not move an inch. Suddenly out of nowhere a small man begun to sing a festival song - and indeed, now the tree could be moved easily.
