This Buddhist temple was built at the time of Emperor Seiwa (851-880) in homage to the five Myō-ō, masters of the magical sciences. It took the name of Daikakuji-jō during the Namboku-chō period when it became the headquarters of Emperor Go-Kameyama. Later it was administered by the shōgun Ashikaga family who called upon many artists to create the noble Shoin-zukuri style architecture of the Momoyama period (late 16th century). The hondō (main hall) houses a statue of one of the five Myō-ō, Kongo Yasha, carved in 1176 by Myōen.
