Naritasan Io-den

The place I visited this time is Io-den, located within the grounds of Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. This hall enshrines Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) as its principal image and is deeply worshipped for its benefits of recovery from illness, freedom from illness and disaster, and longevity. Since ancient times, many people have visited, praying for people's health and the expulsion of illness. Touching Yakushi Nyorai in the solemn atmosphere of Io-den will surely lead to the healing of mind and body. Among Naritasan, this is one of the places that should be visited, especially by those who wish for good health.
