Kageyō-ji

川崎市宮前区野川本町3丁目4−4

4.1(182)

A historic temple often referred to as the "Tōdai-ji of the Kanto region," featuring the main statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) and its two attendant statues, all designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.

History

Believed to have been founded in the late 7th century, it is the oldest ancient temple outside the Kinki region. It is thought to have originally been a private Buddhist hall for a powerful local clan before being developed into a district temple. During the medieval period, it deepened its relationship with Fukudai-ji, and in the Edo period, the current Yakushi Hall was rebuilt.
