Over the centuries, the temple suffered damage from fire, and was rebuilt, on roughly eight occasions. The most recent extensive reconstruction of the temple was in [[1864]]; most of the buildings extant today thus date to the [[Meiji period]], or are more recent. The abbot's quarters, or ''hôjô'', houses the temple's oldest sacred sculpture, an image of [[Shakamuni]] dating to the [[Fujiwara period]].

The mausolea of [[Emperor Go-Saga|Emperors Go-Saga]] and Kameyama are located on the grounds.
