Yakuo Temple

In Enryaku 11 (792), Yakushi Nyorai appears when Hiroho Daishi is praying for evil, and when digging with a cane in search of water for kamochi, milky white water rises, purifying the body with the spirit water, and it is said that the statue of Yakushi Nyorai was engraved and laid down as the main statue. The temple was attached with the hope that the people would be rescued equally by this water. The well on the left hand of the main hall is revered as "Kobo no Water" which is effective against all diseases. In addition, wooden cars dedicated by worshippers who have been exuded to the good legs and have been given a good profit are arranged in the main hall. Above the head inside the main hall, the ceiling paintings depicting the flowers are stunning and worth a look.

It is a rare temple in the whole country where Hiroho Daishi, who visited this area where the hot springs had been located since ancient times, conveyed the benefits of Yuji Onsen, and the mountain name is Ononzan. Daishi himself carved and made the main honor of the Yakushi Nyorai, who is to help save the illness and calamity of the modern era. The present main temple was dedicated to the gratitude of the sick disease, and is held as the original Buddha. As many as 50 statues of Buddha carved by the Kyoto Buddhist master, Akyo Matsumoto, are enshrined in the temple. Shukubo has a history of more than 400 years since it was designated as a station-ji temple (a temple designated by the clan where you can stay in trouble at the inn), and is pleased as a jukubo with a hot spring.

The statue of Shakya Nyorai, the main statue of the Buddha, which is said to have been carved by the Hiroho Daishi, is the only one of the eighty-eight places, and a rare sleeping Buddha statue is enshrined. It was originally named White Snake Mountain, Horinji Temple, and was located at the foot of the mountain about 3km away, due to the fact that the Daishushi met with White Snake and opened the foundation. It was burned by the soldiers of the Chōsōkabe, and was moved to the present site of the Shōbo Year (1644-48), due in part to the influence of debris flow. In Ansei 6 (1859), the tower gate was burned down by a fire emanating from Komei-do. The current main hall and the Daishido were rebuilt during the Meiji period. It is called "Tanaka's Falun-san" because it is located in an idyllic countryside.
