Eshin-in Temple was originally established by Kobo Daishi under the name of Ryusenji Temple on its current location on the eastern bank of the Uji River in Uji (Kyoto Prefecture). After the temple fell into disuse, it was reestablished by the Buddhist Priest Genshin in the Heian Period. Genshin is said to be the model for character "Yokawa no Sozu" in "The Tale of Genji".
