Jusei-in (Tako Yakushi)
目黒区下目黒３丁目１１−１１
The main image is a statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) seated on a lotus throne, supported by three octopuses. For this reason, the temple is also known as Tako Yakushi (Octopus Medicine Buddha).
History
This Tendai sect temple was founded in 858 CE (Ten'an 2) by the monk Ennin (Jigaku Daishi). Ennin always carried with him a statue of Yakushi Nyorai that he had carved himself.
