In 1202 (Kennin 2), Minamoto no Yoriie donated the temple grounds, and Eisai, the founder of the Rinzai sect, opened it as the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto and one of Kyoto's five great temples.

The temple was opened by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1601, and the oldest existing woodblock print of Buddhist scriptures in Japan.
It is also known for housing some of the finest Japanese artworks, including the "Sente Kannon Zo" by Unkei and the "Chiku-rinzu Byobu" by Maruyama Oken. The autumn leaves and fresh greenery in the garden, which can be viewed while sitting on a tatami mat in the shoin (drawing room), are as beautiful as if they were a painting.

During the fall foliage season, the view of the garden with its pond and garden paths is exceptional, and the pillars of the shoin (drawing room) serve as picture frames.

This is the site of the villa where Ishikawa Jozan, a vassal of Tokugawa Ieyasu who later became a Chinese poet, spent the last years of his life. It is now a temple of the Soto sect of Zen Buddhism.
