The Buddhist practice of Ikenobo has existed since the building of the Rokkaku-do temple. The actual organized school institution was founded in the 15th century by the Buddhist monk Senno. The school is based at the Rokkaku-dō temple in Kyoto. The name is derived from the word combination of a pond (ike) where Prince Shōtoku (聖徳太子) had originally bathed while looking for the Rokkaku-do temple building site and the small hut built near the pond for subsequent priests to live in (bo).
