Konchiin(金地院) was founded around 1400 and is the Tatchu (temple on the grounds of a large temple) of Nanzenji Temple.

It was moved to its current location by “Isin Suiden” in the early Edo period (1603-1867) and prospered to the extent that it was also known as “temple daimyo” (temple feudal lord).
