Onsenji Temple
"This yakushido (temple dedicated to the Bhaisajyaguru) was established in the year 724, which marked the start of the Nara period. It is said to have been established by the priest Gyoki, who had been guided by the Bhaisajyaguru to visit Arima Onsen. The temple would later be revived by Saint Ninsai, the priest who rejuvenated Arima Onsen at the start of the Kamakura Period. Wooden statues of Gyoki and Ninsai have been enshrined on the grounds of the temple, which is known as ""Yakushi-san"" to locals. Every January 2nd the statues are ceremonially given their first bath of the year as part of a traditional celebration known as irizomeshiki."
