Yakusen-ji, Buddhist temple in Hyōgo, Japan

The temple complex includes the main hall Tsukinowa-eiden, offering visitors a traditional Buddhist architecture experience amid the natural surroundings of northern Japan.

Founded in 805 by monk Saichō, Yakusen-ji underwent reconstruction in 1997 following damages sustained during the Great Hanshin earthquake of 1995.

As part of the Shin-saigoku Pilgrimage route, the temple maintains its position as a significant Buddhist site where the statue of Yakushi Nyorai resides.

Travelers can reach the temple by taking the Awaji Loop bus from Sannomiya Station on the JR Kobe Line to Tateishikawa stop.

The temple combines traditional Tendai Buddhist practices with modern architectural elements, reflecting its adaptation through multiple reconstruction periods.
