Yakushi-do Hall is located near Izawa Castle, the military headquarters. According to the Yasunaga Fudoki, the main hall with three rooms and four sides enshrined Yakushi Nyorai, a seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai, which was about 2 feet tall and 5 inches tall. The hot spring that gushed out next to Yakushido was named Yakushido Onsen. The hot springs are effective against neuralgia, sensitivity to cold, chronic skin diseases, and chronic women's diseases.
