During the Tempyo period, the temple’s first head priest, Genho, who had traveled to Tang China, encountered a fierce storm on the journey home; he washed ashore at Tanegashima and returned safely in spite of this disaster. It is believed that this is thanks to Genho fervently intoning the Kairyu-o-kyo (the sutra on the king of the sea dragons) while aboard ship, and even today the temple is visited by many worshippers seeking to ensure their safety while traveling or studying abroad. The temple is also said to be the originator of the practice of copying the Heart Sutra.

Structures such as the castle tower built in the early Edo period still stand today, and these are also registered as National treasures and national Important Cultural Properties. One of the most prominent theories is that the castle was originally erected as a fort by Akamatsu Sadanori in 1346. Ikeda Terumasa began renovating the castle when he became the lord of the castle after the Battle of Sekigahara, expanding it into the expansive compound seen today. The castle tower is located in the southeast corner of the foundation. The castle looks to be composed of five tiers from the outside and internally is comprised of six floors above ground and one subterranean level. The castle shining a blinding white in the light of the sun is truly a beautiful sight.
