地蔵寺 Jizo Temple
Prayers to the Jizo images are said to help sufferers of internal illnesses including cancer (cancer in Japanese is gan, hence the alternative name of the temple Ganfujidera).
The temple grounds are full of scores of statues of Jizo, both large and small, many of them capped with a red bonnet.



The pleasant temple grounds of Jizoji abound with images of Jizo (the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha) and the temple also attracts supplicants who seek an easy delivery and help with conceiving a child.

The main statue of Enmei Jizo 延命地蔵願王菩薩 is never shown.
It is said to have a staff 錫杖 of pure gold (kinshaku, hence the name Kinshakuzan 金錫山).
During an epidemic in the Heian period people suffered a lot.
やせて苦しみ、生きながらにして地獄に落ちる
After a statue was brought from Yudonoyama, people begun to get healed when visiting here. Now apart from healing cancer, the Jizo is also helpful in getting pregnant and rearing children and traffic safety.

- quote -
Affectionately called "Ishikiri-san," Ishikiri-Tsurugiya Shrine,
located in Higashiosaka City at the foot of Mt. Ikoma, has long been familiar to people in Osaka from olden times as a deity who cures dembo (tumors and boils). Believed to have special powers to heal diseases, the shrine is worshipped by many people even today. The name "Ishikiri-Tsurugiya Shrine" is derived from the enshrined objects of worship:
a sword and arrow (tsurugi and ya) that are able to cut (kiri) and penetrate any rocks (ishi).
Walking along the 1 km approach to the shrine from the station, visitors can find a number of fortune-tellers' signboards, eateries, herbal medicine pharmacies, and grocery stores. The street's unique, retrospective atmosphere makes visitors feel as if they are experiencing a time warp.

A Cancer Pilgrimage in the Mountains of Japan
By Andrea DenHoed



The Tamagawa baths, situated in the mountains of Japan’s Akita prefecture, have long been believed to hold medicinal powers. Today, the area attracts cancer patients from all over the country, who hope that the naturally acidic hot springs and radioactive stones might heal them. The Japanese photographer Tsutomu Yamagata first heard of the baths when his father was diagnosed with cancer several years ago. His father died soon afterward and never went to to Tamagawa, but, three years ago, Yamagata began visiting the valley himself to photograph the pilgrims who hoped to benefit from its healing force. “I felt that I saw a representation of the Japanese view of life and death within this valley,” he said.

“People fighting cancer throw themselves at the mercy of the radiation that fills the valley,” he writes. The scene reminded him of a depiction of the supreme enlightenment of Nirvana, in which Buddha lies in the center of the ten great disciples. The image, he writes, “describes the stage where all Bonno (earthly desires) are entirely gone.”
