Retired Emperor Takakura's dream pillow was auspicious, and Masanori Fukushima moved the throne to its current location.

The Shingon sect temple Tamon-in is called Kongo Kissho Nyoi Hojuzan Komyohenshoji Tamontenno-in, and its principal image is Bishamonten. The hall was first built in Ondo-Hatami (Hatami), Aki District, as a result of the dream of the retired Emperor Takakura, and about 370 years later, during the Tenbun era, it was moved to Yoshida, Takada District by Mori Motonari, and was built in Hiroshima by Mori Terumoto. With the construction of the castle, it was relocated to Shinjo Village. Masanori Fukushima, who followed in the footsteps of Mori, chose Hijiyama in 1604 and built the main hall, which remains there today. Masanori donated the two-width Ryokai mandala of the Kongokai Tazobu and a treasured sword of the Sanjo Kokaji Munechika to Tozan's first Toshie, and congratulatory documents are also left behind. Ryōkai Mandala was designated as an important tangible cultural property by Hiroshima City on September 11, 1978. There is no holding in the shrine grounds.
