History
Yakuoji is a temple in Kanazawa Ward, Yokohama, dedicated to Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha). It has long been believed to bring benefits of healing from illness, and many people visit to pray. The temple grounds are quiet and allow one to spend time with a peaceful mind. It is said that this temple brings benefits of healing from illness, longevity, and family safety. I, too, find peace of mind in this healing space.
