The temple has many old trees in its compound. The river in front of the temple is called Kagamigawa 鏡川.
Once upon a time, during a great long rain, from upstream a statue of Fudo came down the river, hence its name. The statue had been carved by Kobo Daishi himself and been in a temple upstream. The people sorted the statue out of the rubble, the branches and roots of a huge wisteria tree and the debris of the swollen river and built a new temple where it is now, still amidst many old trees.

The temple is related to Chooksokabe 長宗我部 (1539 - 1599) who destroyed it,
and was the family temple of the Yamaichi clan 山一族.

The temple belongs to the Rinzai Zen sect.

This statue dates back to the Kamakura period.
It is carved from one piece of hinoki pine wood and is 142.3 cm high.
