According to temple tradition, Kaiko-ji was founded by the Shingon master Kukai as the Shonai-side base of the Yudono pilgrimage route. As one of the many traditions linking Kukai to Mount Yudono, the temple stood alongside Dainichibou and Churen-ji as a foundational center of Yudono Shingon Buddhism, supporting the flowering of Yudono devotion through the medieval and early modern periods.
