Enmei-ji

Enmei-ji temple features two distinct bell towers, with one positioned inside the temple grounds and another situated near the parking area.

Founded in the 720s, Enmei-ji underwent a name change during the Meiji period, as it was previously known as Enmyo-ji like Temple No. 53.

The main hall contains a statue of Buddha surrounded by small figures of praying babies, reflecting connections to fertility and spiritual themes.

The temple serves as the 54th stop on the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage route and is accessible through local bus services from Imabari.

A gray tile flaming turnip decorates the roof above the porch, symbolizing the halo and burning spirit of the dharma teachings.
