Yukinoyama Ryūōji (Dragon King Temple)
竜王町川守４１
A Tendaishū (Tendai) temple with the mountain name Yukinoyama, enshrining the Medicine Buddha (Yakushi Ruri Kō Nyorai) as its principal image. It preserves cultural assets, including a bronze bell (bonshō) designated as an Important Cultural Property and a wooden statue of the Medicine Buddha in a seated posture from the late Heian period.
History
According to tradition, the temple was founded in 710 CE (Wadō 3) by the monk Ganjin (Gan-kin) under an imperial edict from Empress Genmei, originally named Yukinō-ji. In 1007 CE (Kankō 4), Emperor Ichijō bestowed the imperial plaque for the Ryūju Bell Hall, and the temple's name was changed to Ryūōji.
