Although it seems like the temple had been quite substantial from the Heian period to the medieval period, it was completely-burned by the fire in 1498 and also by the fire caused by the war in 1503; the temple's treasure and the records were burned down, which included not only the original building from its inception but also most of the Buddha statues, the temple's treasure and the records.
平安時代から中世にかけて、かなりの規模をもった寺院だったようだが、明応7年（1498年）の火災で全焼し、その数年後の文亀3年（1503年）の兵火でも焼け、この2回の火災で創建以来の建物ばかりでなく、仏像、寺宝、記録類なども大方焼けてしまった。
