Near the top of the mountain, there is Kongosho-ji KongoshojiTemple, a famous temple of the Nanzen-ji sect, which has been famous for a long time ago, saying, ``If you visit Ise, put on Asakuma.''

In the second year of Tencho (825), Kobo Daishi Kukai built the main dojo for Shingon esoteric Buddhism, enshrining Fukuichi Mankokuzo Bodhisattva as the principal image, and named it Shobōzan Kabutsuin Kongoshoji KongoshojiTemple. It is said that Kobo Daishi Kukai practiced Kokuzo Gumonjiho on this mountain. After that, a period of no residence continued, and in the third year of Meitoku (1392), the 71st head of Kamakura Kenchoji Temple (61st head of Engakuji Temple), Butji Zen Master, entered the temple and worked to revive the temple. Butschi Zenji is regarded as the founder of the Chukyo sect, and he converted from the Shingon sect to the Rinzai sect, becoming a temple of the Nanzenji sect of the Rinzai sect.
It suffered fires in 1597 and 1609, but in 1610 Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered Terumasa Ikeda, lord of Himeji Castle, to rebuild the main hall, Maniden. After that, it was again destroyed by fire in 1804 and 1887, and many halls were lost. Existing buildings from the Edo period include Maniden, Legal Hall, Gumonjido, Uhodo, Bokaiin, Yorakuin, Donkaiin, and Kogenin.
