Minamoto no Yoritomo built Ebisudo Hall where Komachioji Street crosses the Namerigawa River as a tutelary hall for the shogunate. Nichiren, a famous Buddhist priest in the Kamakura Period who founded the Nichiren School of Buddhism, stayed at this hall before traveling to Mt. Minobu. Ebisudo Hall was destroyed by fire when the Kamakura shogunate fell. Subsequently, Hongakuji Temple was built on the site.
