The founder was 慈覚大師 Jigaku Daishi 安慧 (794 - 864)
and his disciple
Ane, An-E 安慧 (795 - 868)
student of Ennin Jigaku Daishi at Mount Hieizan.

Another record dates it to 1688, as part of the Haguro Mountain Shugendo.



The sailors from the Matsumaebune 松前船 trade ships from Hokkaido to Osaka passed here. The sailors of the famous ship 辰悦丸 Shinetsu Maru owned by Takadaya Kahei came here to pray for safety on the sea. Maybe Kahei also payed for the stone steps for a better access.
There is also an anchor 錨 of the Shinetsu-Maru in the precincts.


- Chant of the temple
多聞院　智剣の光　天に満ち　
海難よくる　波切り不動


. Takadaya Kahei 高田屋嘉兵衛 (1769 - 1827) .
In 1795, he constructed a ship named Shinetsu-maru with a displacement of 417 tons in Dewa (Yamagata and Akita Prefectures) and captained it. The following year he opened trading stores with the name of Takadaya in Hyogotsu and Hakodate, and started selling goods he transported between Ezo and the Osaka area.
