The temple was originally located on the banks of the Shuri Kubagawa, but was moved to its current location during the reign of King [[Sho Tei|Shô Tei]].
One of the temple's bells was originally cast in [[1456]], for the temple [[Tenryu-ji (Okinawa)|Tenryû-ji]], founded in that year by [[Kaiin]]<!--芥隠-->. The temple was later abandoned, and the bell moved to [[Tenno-ji (Okinawa)|Tennô-ji]], then to Ankokuzen-ji. In 1944, the bell was donated to the war effort, to be melted down and used to produce war materiel; however, it was discovered relatively undamaged in 1962 in [[Tottori prefecture]], and was returned to Okinawa.<ref>Gallery labels at Okinawa Prefectural Museum, August 2013.</ref>
