A temple that is said to have been opened by Kobo Daishi during the Heian period
Officially known as "Kobori Yakushi Fukukoji Temple," it is said to have been founded by Kobo Daishi during the Heian period.
Twelve statues, including the principal image of Yakushi Nyorai and the Nikko and Gakko Bodhisattvas, have been designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.
