Eikoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Hitoyoshi, Japan.
Eikoku-ji temple stands at 5 Dotecho in Hitoyoshi, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and surrounded by local gardens and structures.
The temple, established between 1408 and 1410 by Sagara Maezuku, underwent multiple reconstructions following its destruction during the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877.
The temple houses a notable hanging scroll depicting a ghost, which according to local records was painted by the founding monk Jitto.
Located five minutes by car from Hitoyoshi Station, the temple welcomes visitors from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and provides parking facilities.
The temple earned the name Ghost Temple due to its mysterious scroll and experienced substantial renovations in 2017 to preserve its structural integrity.
