It is one of the 16 head temples of the Hokke sect in the Kyoto area. After the second head priest, Nichinari, it came into conflict with Minobu-san for its insistence on not receiving or giving, and was oppressed by the shogunate. It was a base for the non-receiving or non-giving sect until 1630 , but after Nichioku's death, Nichikan of Minobu entered the mountain and converted to the receiving sect.

During the Edo period, the Fujubuse sect was banned from evangelizing and driven out of its base, Myokaku-ji Temple in Kyoto. In 1876 , the sect was allowed to revive. Shaku Nissho established the temple, with Nichizo as its founder and Nichioku as its revivalist. It was originally called Ryukakyoin, and in 1875, it was renamed to its current name, Yamadera.
