The 34m high Eastern Pagoda is the only building that remains from the Hakuho Period (8th century). Inside the Main Hall are the Buddhist statues of “Yakushi Nyorai”, a divine protector against illness, and his two side-attendants. These three Buddhist statues, which are collectively referred to as the “Yakushi Sanzon”, are 2.6m high, made of bronze, and are among the finest examples of Buddhist art in Japan.
