though there are many buildings on the yakushi-ji (薬師寺) grounds, only the east pagoda, to-to (東塔), has survived wars and fires since the 8th century. formerly an imperial temple, yakushi-ji still serves as a site of buddhist worship.

like gango-ji and other temples located in asuka, yakushi-ji was moved from there to nara when it became the new capital of japan.
