History
Yakushiji is dedicated to Bhaisajyaguru, the Medicine Buddha, whose compassion manifests as healing power. In Ōkubo, Narashino, the temple has long been a refuge for those suffering from illness or injury. The teachings within emphasize that true healing involves both body and spirit. Pilgrims come seeking not merely physical recovery, but the profound restoration of wholeness.
