Enpukuji Temple

Enpukuji Temple (円福寺) is a historic site built in the early 1600s on the hilltop where a former castle once stood. The castle was used as a stronghold by the Southern Court forces during the intense struggle for power between the two imperial courts in the 14th century. Today, Enpukuji Temple offers visitors a glimpse into Japan's rich history, set in a peaceful location with scenic views of the surrounding landscape.

Although a relatively recent construction, the temple's history is deeply tied to the region's past. The hilltop location offers not only a place of worship but also a reflection of Japan’s turbulent feudal history, making it a significant cultural destination.
