The original main hall stood closer to the river, but in 1053 the current Hōō-dō was constructed as part of an 'earthly paradise'.

Such was Byōdō-in's beauty that a famous saying went ..."If you are suspicious about the existence of Amida's Pure Land, pray at the Temple in Uji".

It is said that Dōchi (道智 1217-69) so loved the Komagataki Waterfall (駒ヶ滝) that it was here his spirit lingered. His hermitage close by became the temple of Saishō-in (最勝院). It was on this land that Emperor Kameyama intruded, thus disturbing Dōchi's ghost.

Jōjakkō-ji's oldest structure actually belonged originally to another temple.
Built in the 14thC, the thatched Niō-mon (仁王門) guarded the south entrance to Honkoku-ji (本圀寺), one of Kyōto's most important Nichiren centres, but in 1616 Nisshin moved it to his new temple.
