Matsumushi-dera, Buddhist temple in Inzai, Japan
The Matsumushi-dera temple features seven Buddha statues of Yakushi Nyorai, with one seated figure measuring 54.3 centimeters and six standing figures of 38-39 centimeters.
Founded in 745 during the Nara period, the temple was established by the monk Gyoki under the directive of Emperor Shomu to serve the local community.
The temple grounds contain the historical Ushi-Muguri pond, linked to a legend about Princess Matsumushi's ox that jumped into the water after her departure.
Visitors can reach Matsumushi-dera within a 10-minute walk from Inba-Nihon-Idai Station on the Hokuso Line, making it easily accessible for temple visits.
The temple houses a collection of seven Buddhist statues designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan, representing a rare complete set of Yakushi Nyorai figures.
