Photo The Emperor Temmu started to construct the temple in the 9th year of Temmu era (680), wishing for the recovery from the illness of the Empress, and completed in the 11th year of the Jito era (697) in Fujiwara-kyo capital. Later,with the transfer of the capital to Nara, the temple was moved to the present site in the 2nd year of the Yoro era (718). The temple has two three-storied pagodas (Eastern and Western Pagodas) centering around Golden Hall and Lecture Hall. The arrangement style of the temple is very unique, and is called "Yakushi-ji style arrangement."
