History
According to tradition, the temple was founded when the monk Gyoki visited this site, drove his staff into the ground, and a spring of sacred water emerged, revealing an image of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha). In the early Meiji period, the abbot planted peonies for medicinal purposes, and the temple became known by the common name Botanji (Peony Temple).
