Omotoyama, a Jodo sect known as "Kurodani-san" by people from Kyoto. It is said that the beginning of the 5th year of Seian (1175) was when the Honen people descended from Kuroya on Mount Hiei and connected the hermitage here. The building has been hit by several fires, but each time it is being rebuilt. It is now lined with 18 Tōtō temples, as well as the mountain gates, the ossuado, the Amida-dō, the Mikage-dō, the kōtō (Important Cultural Property), and others. Among them, Ren-chiin (Kumagaya-do [Kumagaidou]) is known as the site of the residence of Naomi Kumagai, who took the head of Atsumori Taira in the Battle of Ichinotani. In addition, the statue of the main temple of the three-story pagoda, which was built to mourn the bodhisattva of the second shōgun, Tokugawa Hidetada, is said to be the work of Likei, and is now enshrined in Mikage-do.
