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.

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。

- Chant of the temple
世にひびく 青葉（あおば）の笛（ふえ）の 名にぞきく

The temple was founded in 886 by 聞鏡上人 Saint Monkyo.

- quote
Sumadera Temple is a place of deep history and religion filled with beautiful natural sights
throughout the changing seasons.
Founded in 886, it is a Shingon Buddhist temple and now serves as a memorial to the Gempei War.
The war occurred between warring states, the most influential samurai clans of that time:
the Minamoto and Taira clans.
Here, within the Sumadera Temple complex, is a treasure hall
where you can view artifacts and historical representations of what happened during the war.
In the treasure hall, you are surrounded by relics and artifacts from the past.
You can also sit on benches and lounge while viewing falling autumn leaves.
It’s a serene place where you can feel at peace and ease.
A notable section of Sumadera Temple, left of the main hall,
is a magnificent pagoda that stands three stories high next to gravestones and statues.
The trees in the backdrop highlight its profound color and beauty.

Walking Through the Gempei Garden

Walking through the Gempei garden, you can see statues of Kumagai Naozane and Taira no Atsumori
dueling while mounted on horses for battle.
The garden tells the tragic tale of how Naozane, the commander of Minamoto clan,
would soon kill Atsumori, the young commander of the Taira clan.
It is a tale that has no happy ending.
Naozane was remorseful as he had to kill someone as old as his own son.
This melancholic story reminds visitors about the fundamental views of bushido philosophy,
which considers every moment as fleeting and impermanent.
Despite this tragic history,
Sumadera Temple is now a peaceful place where visitors can see a beautiful temple architecture,
fall foliage, scenic year-round gardens and much more.

The Zen temple 正福寺 Shofuku-Ji has a Yakushi Do Hall.
On the New Year's night, the Yakushi in this hall had to go out to take a pee.
He stumbled in the dark and hit his eye on a branch of the pine decoration, thus becoming blind.
Now there is never a pine decoration for the New Year at this temple.

The Kannon statue is 如意輪観音 Nyoirin Kannon.

The temple is often called chuufuu yoke no o-tera 中風除けの寺 "Temple to prevent palsy".

The temple was founded in 768 by 和気清麻呂 Wake Kiyomaro.
In 804 Kukai Kobo Daishi rebuilt it on request of 称徳天皇 Empress Shotoku Tenno (孝謙天皇 Koken Tenno).
(Empress Kōken, known as Empress Shōtoku.)
The path where Kukai climbed the mountain is called 大師道 Daishi Do - Road of Kobo Daishi.
It is located on the southern slope of 摩尼山 Mount Manisan.
The temple was revived in 1350 by 善妙上人 Saint Zenmyo.
In 1375, 後円融天皇 Emperor Goennyu suffered from palsy and Saint Zenmyo came here to pray for his recovery.
The present compound dates back to the Edo period.
