藥王院, Buddhist temple in Mito, Japan.
The temple features several halls, including a main building with copper roofing and traditional architectural elements dating from the Edo period.
Founded in 807 under Emperor Kanmu's decree, the temple gained prominence when the Daijo clan provided strong support during medieval times.
The temple maintains connections with numerous Buddhist institutions as a direct branch temple of the Tendai sect's Shoren-in lineage.
The temple complex includes multiple designated cultural properties, including statues of the Twelve Heavenly Generals and a seated Yakushi Buddha.
The temple grounds contain a 700-year-old Ginkgo tree and stone monuments, including a five-ringed tower dedicated to Matsudaira Kamechimaru.
