峰の薬師, Buddhist temple in Midori-ku district, Japan.

The temple stands on a hilltop overlooking Lake Tsukui, offering visitors a panoramic view of Sagami River and surrounding mountains.

Established between 1492 and 1501, Mine no Yakushi temple suffered multiple fires that destroyed historical records of its early years.

The temple houses a wooden statue of Yakushi Buddha, measuring 1.3 feet in height, traditionally attributed to the monk Gyoki.

Visitors can reach the temple entrance by taking a bus from Hashimoto Station North Exit to Mine no Yakushi bus stop.

The temple gained literary recognition through its appearance in Tsuneo Tomita's novel 'Sugata Sanshiro' as a dueling location.
