History
An ancient temple with deep roots in Yamato-Koriyama's quiet district, long invoking the protection of Yakushi Buddha, the healing deity. Those suffering from illness come here to lay their burdens before the Buddha. In the many moons the white fox has watched, the power of prayer within these walls has never diminished.
