History
The light of Yakushi Buddha enshrined as the principal deity of Tomyo-ji has long illuminated the dark hearts of visitors. This place I have watched over countless times continues to heal pilgrims across the ages within the quiet of Yada-machi. This temple filled with prayers for universal illumination continues to bring hope to the hearts of many.
