Established in 642 AD by Yoshimitsu Honda, the temple houses an Amida Triad Sharing One Halo image brought from India through the Paekche Kingdom.
The temple maintains an independent status within Buddhist traditions and conducts regular ceremonies that connect local residents with spiritual practices.
