Musashi Kokubunji (Musashi National Temple)
国分寺市西元町１丁目１３−１６
A temple of the Shingon Hossu-ji sect, enshrining Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) as its principal image. The grounds house several important cultural properties, including a seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai designated as an Important Cultural Property, as well as the Yakushi-do (Medicine Hall), Ni-o-mon (Guardian Gate), and Rou-mon (Pagoda Gate), which are designated as municipal cultural properties.
History
This temple is the successor to the Musashi Kokubunji, one of the national temples established during the Nara period by imperial edict of Emperor Shomu. It was destroyed by fire during the Battle of Bunbai Kawara in 1333 (Genkō 3). The Yakushi-do was rebuilt in 1335 (Kenmu 2) by Nitta Yoshitsune. Subsequently, the main hall was rebuilt in 1725, and the Yakushi-do was reconstructed around 1756 (Bōryaku 6).

What visitors say
The vast grounds retain the atmosphere of the former national temple, offering a serene setting that feels unlike anything in the city center. The precincts are well-maintained, featuring a simple, open space with ample negative space. The main gate is modestly positioned on the road side, and the parking lot is maintained exclusively for temple-related personnel.
