Sanjogatake has long been called Kanenomitake and Kinpusen, and has been known as a sacred area since ancient times. During the Hakuhō period, En no Gyōja, after a thousand days of ascetic practice on Mt. Sanjogatake, the summit of Kinpusen, perceived Kongō Zao Daigongen and made it the principal image of Shugendō. It is said that En no Gyōja carved the image into a yamazakura tree and enshrined it on the summit of Mt. Sanjogatake and Yoshinoyama at the foot of the mountain, which is said to be the founding of Kinpusen-ji Temple. Since then, Kinpusen-ji Temple has been revered by many people, from the imperial family and nobility to the general public, and has flourished as the fundamental training ground for Shugendō. Although it was temporarily in danger of being abolished due to the Great Lawsuit of the Separation of Gods and Buddhas and the Destruction of Buddhism at the beginning of the Meiji era, it was supported by strong faith and was restored as a Buddhist temple. Today, it is the head temple of the Kinpusen Shugen Honshu sect and is the central temple of Shugendō, where Shugen practitioners and yamabushi from all over the country gather.
