4.0(1)

A temple of the Hozon School of Shingon Buddhism, enshrining the Medicine Buddha (Yakushi Nyorai) as its principal image. It houses the Important Cultural Property seated statue of the Medicine Buddha, as well as the Medicine Hall (Yakushi-do), the Guardian King Gate (Nio-mon), and the Tower Gate (Ro-mon), all designated as municipal cultural properties.

History

This temple is the successor to the Kokubunji (Provincial Temple) established by imperial decree of Emperor Shomu during the Nara period. It was destroyed by fire during the Battle of Bunbai Kawara in 1333 CE (Genkō 3) but the Medicine Hall was rebuilt in 1335 CE (Kenmu 2) by Nitta Yoshitsune. The current structures were rebuilt during the Bōryaku era (1751–1764).
