History
Nestled deep in the Shiio mountains, this temple has used the power of the Medicine Buddha to save many patients throughout the ages. In ancient times, the fragrance of medicinal herbs filled this land, and practitioners studied their healing properties, eventually establishing the temple. The history of this place astounds even one such as I. Even now, its blessings spanning over a millennium bring healing to all who visit.
