Hyuga Yakushi Spring Annual Festival
On Monday, April 15
Selected as one of Kanagawa’s Top 50 Festivals
It is the most grand and solemn event of the year,
This year’s final unveiling of the hidden principal image, the iron-axe carved Yakushi triad, took place
Sacred tree climbing (shigi nobori) and a fire-walking ritual were also performed.
Blessed with good weather, the festival drew many worshippers.
A tea ceremony by the Urasenke school, led by the Iwata Soubun group, was also busy on the temple grounds.
One of Japan’s Three Yakushi Temples, Hyuga Yakushi Hojobo (1644 Hyuga, Isehara City)
Niomon Gate
Located near the entrance to the main approach, two Kongorikishi guardian statues stand there in a protective stance: the open-mouthed Agyo and the closed-mouthed Ungyo, preventing enemies of the Buddha from entering the temple.
Treasure Hall
Housing the principal image and a collection of cultural properties that includes eight items designated by the national government and two designated by the prefecture, the national designations alone total 23 Buddhist statues enshrined together. There is no other example in eastern Japan where so many designated cultural properties are kept in one place.

Takaokain Temple Kin-chan Cherry Tree Planting Festival
On Sunday the 14th, with the slogan "Let’s create a new cherry blossom spot in Isehara!", Ito En sponsored the planting of five cherry trees: a married pair named "Kin-chan Sakura" and "Sumi-chan Sakura," plus three weeping cherry trees.
At Takaokain (Sannomiya 682), where a hall enshrines a statue of Jomoku Daibenzaiten named in memory of Kin-chan’s late wife Sumiko, a commemorative stone monument bearing words from Kin-chan and Tsutomu Sekine stands.
Also present that day was Kinichi Hagimoto, known as Kin-chan, who had just turned 83 on May 7. In the talk show he generously shared his trademark Kin-chan stories, including memories of his late comedy partner Jiro Sakagami from Konto 55, and he readily signed autographs and posed for photos.
