Honn-yakushi-ji-ato (Site of Honn-yakushi-ji Temple)
橿原市城殿町
This is the site of the temple formerly known as the Yakushi-ji (Medicine Buddha Temple) of Fujiwara-kyo (Fujiwara Capital). It is currently registered as a Special Historic Site and a World Heritage Site. Remains such as the site of the Kondo (Golden Hall), the earthen platforms of the East and West Pagodas, and foundation stones are preserved as historical structures.
History
This was a government-established temple vowed by Emperor Tenmu for the recovery of Empress Jito (then Empress) from illness. It came to be called 'Honn-yakushi-ji' (Main Medicine Buddha Temple) to distinguish it from the Yakushi-ji in Nishino-kyo (West Capital) following the capital's relocation to Heijo-kyo (Heijo Capital). Excavation surveys have confirmed that it existed until the early 11th century.

What visitors say
This is a historic site where the remains of the West Pagoda, East Pagoda, and Golden Pagoda of Yakushi-ji are preserved. Visitors can view the large foundation stones of the Golden Hall and the base sections of the pagodas. While it was formerly famous for its water lilies (Hotei-aui), reports indicate that they are no longer planted. The surrounding roads are narrow, so caution is required when accessing the parking lot.
