Description
It is said that the temple was advised by Kobodaishi Kukai during the Konin period (810 - 824) and then in the middle of the Edo period a different temple Konzoin had the stone temple built on the large rocks and then later enshrined the statue of Benzaiten (currently deified as Konzoin Benzaiten-do) in it.
The enshrined large rocks of Nagusa have been nationally designated as natural monuments.
Benzaiten is one of the spots for the Ashikaga Shichifukuji (seven deities) course.
