Musashi Kokubunji Yakushi-do (Medicine Hall)
国分寺市西元町１丁目１３−１６
A temple of the Shingon Hyossan-ha sect, enshrining Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) as its principal image. The grounds house several designated cultural properties, including a National Important Cultural Property seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai, as well as the Yakushi-do, Ni-o-mon (Guardian Gate), and Rou-mon (Tower Gate), which are designated as municipal cultural properties.
History
This temple serves as the successor to the Kokubunji (Provincial Temple) established by imperial decree of Emperor Shomu during the Nara period. After being destroyed by fire in the war of 1333 CE (Genkō 3), the Yakushi-do was rebuilt in 1335 CE (Kenmu 2) by Nitta Yoshitsune. The current structure was reconstructed during the Bōryaku era (1751–1764).
