Enkō-in, Buddhist temple in Kofu, Japan
The temple stands on Mount Atago slopes with stone lanterns, cherry trees, and traditional Japanese gardens containing carefully positioned rocks and moss.
Takeda Shingen relocated the temple from Isawa to its current location in 1560, making it one of the five main temples of Kofu Gozan.
The cemetery holds the grave of Lady Sanjo, marked by a stone fence with the imperial seal, reflecting the connection between local and imperial powers.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking bus lines 10, 11, or 12 from Kofu Station to Gokokujinja-iriguchi, followed by a 10-minute walk.
The temple grounds provide panoramic views over Kofu City and contain unusual carvings on the bell tower corner poles.
