Arai Yakushi Baishoin

A temple of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, founded in the 16th century and affectionately known as Oyakushi-sama. Long ago, the daughter of the second Tokugawa shogun Hidetada, Kazuko, suffered from a serious eye disease, but after praying to the Yakushi Nyorai at this temple, she was instantly cured, and was also called Chigan-yakushi (Cure Eyes). A festival is held on the 8th of every month, and the temple is very lively. It is the 71st temple in the capital.
