Yakushō-ji, Buddhist temple in Minamiuonuma, Japan.
The temple contains two distinct pagodas within its complex, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and Buddhist ceremonial spaces.
Emperor Tenmu established Yakushō-ji 1,300 years ago to request healing prayers for his consort, who later became Empress Jito.
The temple holds the Yakushi Triad, a collection of principal Buddhist statues that date back to the founding period of the religious complex.
Visitors can access Yakushō-ji daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 500 yen for the treasure hall.
The temple contains a 2,000-year-old judas tree that rises 30 meters high with branches extending across a 15-meter radius.
