On both sides of the Yakushi Statue are 十二神将 the 12 Divine Generals.

- Chant of the temple
おん　ころころ　せんだり　まとうぎ　そわか　

The temple was founded in 1390 by 舜栄法印 Saint Shunei.
One of the treasures is the 如来荒神曼荼羅 Nyorai Aragami Mandala from the Muromachi Period.

In former times, the parishioners came here to pray for salt.
Every time they left a little salt, which soon became shio-oka 塩岡 a salt mountain.
This is the origin of the mountain name.
In 1580 during a fire, the Yakushi statue took the statue of Koku 虚空 Kokuzo Bosatsu and took of to the sky.
Later thei parishioners heard that the statue was found in a local river in Higashi-Takakura.
Now this part of the river is called Shiobuchi 塩渕 deep salt pond.


. Aragami 荒神 the Wild Aragami Deity .
- 如来荒神曼荼羅 Nyorai Aragami Mandala
The combination of Yakushi Nyorai and Aragami is quite seldom.

画面は内院と外院からなる。内院には、宝冠を着けた六臂の如来荒神が宝瓶座に座り、
その下部に群青身の不動明王と赤肉身の愛染明王が配されている。
不動明王は右手に剣、左手には羂索の替わりに輪宝を執る。
愛染明王は、頭上に弓矢をかざす天弓愛染で、異色構成の図像である。
外院は、12の円相内に尊名を特定できない多面多臂の菩薩形や鬼神形を並べ、
荒神像のほか14の尊像からなる曼荼羅図を構成している。持物など一部に後世の補筆が認められるが、
当初部分は荒神像図としては希少な室町期の作と考えられる。

She then had three children. After each birth, she sprinkled some of the water on the head of the baby.
When the third boy was born, she sprinkled water again and the water begun to shine on his head.
The third child later became 清和天皇 Emperor Seiwa Tenno (858 - 876).
Emperor Montoku ordered to have a temple build near the well.
This temple became known as 塩谷寺 Enkoku-Ji.

In 1964, a kindergarden was opened in the compound, 光明幼稚園 Komyo Yochi-En.

あかずの観音 "Kannon behind a door that is not opened"
Located at Akarusan 閼伽流山 Mount Akaru.

The Kannon Statue used to be at 親沢 Oyazawa.
If the door of the hall was left open, the Kannon got out and walked to the swamp.
Therefore the door is never opened and the statue is called "Kannon behind a door that is not opened".
