History
Nestled in the quietude of Oigoshinden, this temple has long been a beacon of faith for those seeking blessings of extended life. The principal deity, Yakushi Nyorai, has been reverently preserved through the ages. In autumn, pilgrims arrive in steady streams to pray amid the crimson foliage, their devotion never wavering through the seasons.
