Iouzan Hida Kokubunji (Iouzan Hida National Temple)
高山市総和町１丁目８３
A Shingon Buddhist temple located in Takayama City, known for its seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha), which is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, and a large ginkgo tree estimated to be 1,250 years old.
History
In 741 CE, Emperor Shomu issued an imperial decree to establish national temples (Kokubunji). The temple was founded around 746 CE by the monk Giki. It was destroyed by fire in 819 CE but was rebuilt around 855 CE. The main hall was reconstructed during the Muromachi period. After enduring numerous fires and violent storms, the temple evolved into its current form, featuring the three-storied pagoda and the main hall.

What visitors say
Within the temple grounds, a large ginkgo tree approximately 1,200 years old stands tall against the blue sky, creating a refreshing and tranquil atmosphere. The three-storied pagoda, designated as an Important Cultural Property by Gifu Prefecture, and the Nade-Saru-Bobo (a traditional wooden monkey statue meant to be stroked for good luck) located at the entrance are also highlights. The temple offers Goshuin (a calligraphic seal stamp) and is a historic site situated in the Takayama city center.
