 When the Buddhist saint Nichiren stayed at the house of Seki Nagateru, the lord of this area, he carved a sculpture of himself and Nagateru built a hermitage in which he enshrined the sculpture. This was the origin of Tenno-ji Temple, which is generally said to have been established in the Muromachi Period between 1394 and 1427. Among the temples still extant in Tokyo there are few which were founded before the Edo Period (1600-1868), so Ten-noji is one of the few ancient temples left in the metropolis. 
 Tenno-ji was originally called Kanno-ji, but in 1833 in accordance with decree by the Tokugawa Government, its name was changed and its sect altered from the Nichiren sect of Buddhism to the Tendai sect. 
 During the Edo Period public lotteries were held here, so along with Ryusen-ji Temple in Megruro and Yushima Tenjin Shrine in Ueno it was famous as one of the "Three Lotteries".
