History

Byakko

Yakurin-ji, as a temple of the Shingon sect Chizan school, has been rooted in this land for a long time and has gathered people's faith. Although the exact year of its founding is uncertain, it is undoubtedly a temple with a long history. According to temple traditions, it was once known as a sacred temple of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha), visited by many people praying for healing from illness and health and longevity. Ancient trees that evoke a sense of eternal history stand in the quiet grounds, calming the hearts of visitors. It still quietly stands as a spiritual support for the local people.
