薬王院, Buddhist temple on Shiio Mountain in Sakuragawa, Japan.
The temple stands at an elevation of 200 meters, featuring a three-tiered pagoda built in 1704 and traditional halls surrounded by ancient trees.
Founded between 760-835 AD by priest Tokuitsu of the Hosso sect, the temple became one of four Yakushi Nyorai Halls protecting Chuzenji Temple.
The main hall displays a Kamakura Period statue of Yakushi Nyorai annually during Buddha's birthday celebrations in a traditional unveiling ceremony.
The temple grounds include two parking areas accommodating 25 vehicles, restroom facilities, and can be reached within 15 minutes from Sakurawa-Chikusei interchange.
The temple gate incorporates wood materials from the historical Aoki irrigation system, constructed during agricultural restoration projects in the Edo period.
