Iwami-ji
〒434-0016 静岡県浜松市浜名区根堅２２３８
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon-shu sect, designated as a special head temple (betsugaku honzan), with the mountain name Ryugu-zan (Dragon Palace Mountain). It is well known for prayers for safe childbirth and the gift of children, enshrining the Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) and the Jizo Bosatsu (Jizo Bodhisattva) associated with warding off misfortune and ensuring safe delivery.
History
Founded in 725 CE (Shoki 2) when the monk Gyoki carved a statue of Yakushi Nyorai. In 815 CE (Koun 6), it is said that Emperor Saga performed prayers for the dispelling of illness and regained his health. During the Meiji era's separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the temple was divided into the Yakushi-do (Medicine Hall) and the Jizo-do (Jizo Hall, Ryugu-zan). However, the resident priest moved to the Jizo Hall, which has remained the more prominent site to this day.
