Yakushi Shrine
川越市幸町１５−８
A shrine located in Sachi-machi, Kawagoe City. It was established by relocating the Yakushi Hall (Medicine Hall) from the market in Moto-machi.
History
The Yakushi Hall, originally enshrined in the Moto-machi market, was relocated to this site in 1623 CE (Genna 9). A monk named Kannon-bo became the founding abbot, and the site was known as Zuren-ji Temple of the Medicine King Court on Mount Zuiko. Following the Meiji Restoration, Zuren-ji was closed, and the site was renamed Yakushi Shrine.
