A revelation appeared to him in a dream that the Kannon wished to remain in this place and guide the masses on the path to enlightenment, so he enshrined the Kannon statue in its current location and constructed a hexagonal hall which was to be the beginning of Choho-ji Temple.
夢告によりその観音がこの地にとどまり衆生済度を希望したので、その観音像を現在地に安置して六角形の堂を建立したのがこの寺の始まりという。
