General Takauji Ashikaga decided to build this temple on the ruins of Emperor Go-Daigo's residence in 1339 after betraying him and sending him to Mount Yoshino in 1338, a mysterious dream. He left it to his tutor Kokushi Musō (Sōseki) to design the garden. The garden is embellished with a small lake and a succession of seven vertical rocks that oscillate between the representation of Chinese ink painting and Zen aesthetics. It is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
