History
The name Seyaku-ji comes from an ancient vow to dispense medicine and save suffering beings. Near Taki waterfall in Yosano-cho, where water's purity and Buddha's compassion merge, it has served as a place healing body and spirit. Continuously maintaining medical and welfare spirit since ancient times, it shines as a temple praying for community health and happiness.
