     It is unknown when Kozo-ji Temple was founded, but it was merged with Hoshin-in Temple, which had been founded in 1473, to make Shohei-ji Temple in 1907.  Kozo-ji Temple is supposed to have been founded earlier than Hoshin-in Temple.

     Kotsubo Branch of Horiuchi Elementary School was opened in the precincts in 1871.  The branch got independent as Kotsubo Elementary School in 1875, and moved out of the precincts in 1898.
