Shukubo (Temple Guesthouse) Information
It was founded at the beginning of the Kamakura era by High Priest Gyoushou.
In 1523 at the end of the Muromachi period in Nagano Prefecture, a contract was signed between the Saku region's royal family and the Shukubo, Masayuki Sanada from the Umino clan had a castle in the battle of Sekigahara and prevented Hidetada Tokugawa’s westward advance. Following the petition of Nobuyuki Sanada from Hidetada's army, Masayuki, along with Yukimura Tsugumura, was ordered to stay in Koyasan and set up a temporary parable at the shokubo and placed his wife there at Kudoyama. Yukimura died at the summer camp in Osaka, however he was interned in a bodhisattva temple of the Sanada family on Koyasan in Matsushiro, Nagano.
