The main hall had been rebuilt in 1960, the 鐘楼堂 bell tower in 1963

Related to the shrine 鷺宮八幡神社 Sagi no Miya Hachimangu. The temple name Shirasagizan (White Heron) comes from this relationship.

In the compound is a group of special statues :


福蔵院の十三仏 Jusanbutsu - the 13 Buddha statues
They protect the souls of those passed-away on the journey in the Nether World
and also babies and children as they grow up until the age of 13 (juusan).

Nr. 15 Nanzooin 南蔵院 Nanzo-In

- 瑠璃光山 Rurikozan　南蔵院 Nanzo-In　医王寺 Io-Ji
練馬区中村1-15-1 / 1 Chome-15-1 Nakamura, Nerima ward
Shingon Sect : 豊山派



This founding of the temple is not clear. It was maybe founded by a priest named 良弁僧都 Roben around 1520,
or much earlier around 1360.
The main statues are 薬師如来 Yakushi Nyorai, 不動明王 Fudo Myo-O and 聖観世音 Sho-Kannon.
In the 薬師堂 Hall for Yakushi there are many ema 絵馬 votive plaques since the year 1805.
The statue of Yakushi Nyorai is secret and only shown every 33 years.
The statue of Kannon is from the Fujiwara period, with some repairs in later times.
Roben made the statue for Yakushi Nyorai. Later in a dream Yakushi Nyorai gave him the recipe for a medicine called 白龍丸　Hakuryumaru, which is a cure for many things and so he could help many people. The distribution of this medicine was stopped in 1877, with the advent of Western medicine.
The 閻魔堂 Enmado Hall of the King of Hell was built with the intention to pray for good health and has a collection of 1000 small statues of Jizo Bosatsu for this purpose.



The 鐘楼門 bell tower gate
was probably constructed in the middle Edo period. It has a bell with an inscription dating to 1715.

The 南蔵院薬師堂 Yakushi Hall and the 南蔵院閻魔堂 Enma Hall (Enma, King of Hell) have been constructed in 1753.

Related to the shrine 中村八幡神社 Nakamura Hachiman Jinja.
