This temple, affectionately known as “Ise Sanjo” (the top of Mt. Ise),
was used for ascetic practices before the Meiji era. It is now open to the public,
and after going through the entry process
you can climb the harsh mountain path to visit Ibuta-ji Temple yourself.
Inside the grounds, you'll find the Yakushido temple,
holding a statue of Yakushi Nyorai as the temple's principal Deity.

- quote
Established in 824 AD.
The temple of Azabusan Zenpukuji was established more than 1,200 years ago, in 824, during Japan’s Heian Period (794-1185). It was founded in its current location (Azabu, Minami-ku) by Kōbō Daishi (Kūkai) as a temple of the Shingon school of Buddhism, and is one of the oldest temples in the Tokyo area. (Another is Kinryūzan Sensōji.)

It is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu school of Buddhism.
Some time in the Kamakura Period (1185-1333), the monk, Shinran, visited Azabusan Zenpukuji, which was then a temple of the Shingon School. The temple’s priest, Ryōkai, who was a men of renowned brilliance, admired Shinran’s eminent virtue in spreading the teachings of Jōdo Shinshū, and converted Azabusan Zenpukuji from Shingon to Jōdo Shinshū.

It is home to a 750-year-old tree, the oldest tree in the Tokyo.
Inside the grounds of Azabusan Zenpukuji is Tokyo’s oldest ancient tree, a giant ginkgo tree that is a designated natural monument of Japan. It is said that this tree was planted in a spot that the monk, Shinran, pointed to with his staff when he visited Azabusan Zenpukuji.

It sent monks as reinforcements in the conflict with Oda Nobunaga.
In the conflict between the forces of the Jōdo Shinshū Hongwanji sect and the military leader, Oda Nobunaga, Azabusan Zenpukuji sent monks as reinforcements to Ishiyama Hongwanji in Osaka. After the war ended, in 1590, Oda Nobunaga’s successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, established peace in the Kanto region and vowed to protect Azabusan Zenpukuji’s temple estate
.
A tranquility that belies its location in the heart of Tokyo.
