Temple of the root

The main temple of the Shin-Yi Shingon sect. In the first year of Changsheng (1132), it begins with the founding of the Dendenshōin in Kōnō-san by the Sōjo-kaku-bangyōin (Hōkōdai-shi). It developed greatly from the North-South Dynasties to the Muromachi period, and became a major religious city with a large number of injus in the precincts. The extant Honson (Important Cultural Property) and the Great Tower (National Treasure) were also rebuilt around this time. In Tensho 13 (1585), many of the Doto and Injis were burned by Hideyoshi's Kishu attack with the aim of unifying the world, but they were restored during the Edo period with the support of the Kishu Tokugawa family. Most of the precinct site is now designated as a National Historic Site. It is also famous as a spot of cherry blossoms and autumn leaves.
