Enmei-ji, Buddhist temple in Ōbu, Japan

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

The temple was founded between 810 and 824 when Buddhist monk Kukai created a stone Jizo statue that became the main religious figure.

Inside the temple, visitors can observe traditional Buddhist practices as pilgrims recite sutras while their shoes remain arranged outside the entrance.

The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with no admission fee required for entering the grounds or viewing the structures.

The temple grounds contain military graves from World War II marked by tall pointed gravestones, positioned on an elevated section of land.
