Yakuouji (Medicine King Temple)
所沢市有楽町８−１８
A Soto sect temple known as the place where the life of Nitada Yoshimune ended. Within the temple grounds stands a stone monument titled 'Place of Nitada Yoshimune's Demise,' erected by his descendants.
History
It is said that after Nitada Yoshimune, the Mutsu-no-Kami, was defeated in battle, he hid in this area and lived in a thatched hut. Kozan Shunwa changed the temple's affiliation from Rinzai sect to Soto sect, and the temple's name was determined based on the image of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) enshrined as the principal deity. It is reported that Yoshimune passed away in this location in 1413 CE (Eiyo 20).
