上伊那郡 Kami Inagun 長谷村 Hasemura 長谷杉島 Hase Sugishima
Yakushi sama 薬師様 at 戸倉山 Togurayama (Togura-Yama)
At Togurayama there was a statue of Yakushi, and an old monk took care of it. But the the old monk died and Yakushi became very lonely. So he flew to the temple Hooonji 報恩寺 Hoon-Ji in 杉島 Sugishima hamlet to the large gingko tree いちょうの木.
When the priest came out the next morning, he saw a heavenly light shining from behind the gingko tree. He knew a deity had come down and worshipped the tree from now on.

This Yakushi statue stands all alone on Mount Togurayama, in heat and cold, shine and snow.
On the 西峰 Western Peak of the Mountain range, there is 不動明王 Fudo Myo-O to be worshipped.

木曽郡 Kiso gun 木祖村 Kiso village
The Yakushi Hall had been burned down by a fire and even the ground around it was burned. Only two heaps of dried grass had not burned. When the farmers took a closer look, they found the statue of Yakushi inside one of them. It seems the deity walked there all by itself.

北安曇郡 Kita Azumi gun 小谷村 Otani
Arabiru kamisama あらびる神様 / 荒びる The Wild Deity and 薬師様
Once upon a time
there lived a very wild and rough deity in the village and all had a hard time. But Yakushi managed to calm the deity down and had a Yakushi Hall build on top of the spot.
The villagers were still afraid of the wild deity. Sometimes the ground below the veranda of the temple rises to a mound, and whoever touches that spot will be cursed.

松川町 Matsukawa village
お薬師様,稲荷 Yakushi and Inari
Once a man and a woman stayed over night in the temple. The woman had fallen down and uttered a divine oracle.
"The old priest here had once been the Lord of a castle in his former life. A young monk had killed the Lord. Therefore the relationship of the old and young priest here is quite un-normaland in discord. If they build a shrine for Inari, the Fox Deity, all will be well."
The two priests of the temple did as told and from then on there was peace among them.
