Founded during the Heian period, Ninnaji has more than 1,000 years of history. The temple traditionally has a strong connection to the Japanese Imperial Family, with many of the head priests over the centuries being the sons of reigning emperors.
The main hall is recognized as a National Treasure of Japan, while most of the other buildings—including the five-story pagoda—are recognized as Important Cultural Properties.
The grounds of the temple are known for their meticulously raked Zen gardens.
