The temple's construction and subsequent modifications reflected the spiritual practices of medieval Japan, with records indicating its importance during pilgrimages to Ise Shrine.
The temple's location demonstrates the historical relationship between Buddhist and Shinto practices in Japan, as both religious traditions maintained presence in Ise Province.
