Enoshima Daishi

The temple features a modern architectural design with indoor premises and two red Nio guardian statues at the entrance welcoming visitors to the sacred space.

Founded by Ekan Ikeguchi in 1993, the temple was established after a period when Buddhist structures were absent from Enoshima Island due to religious separation policies.

The temple houses Japan's largest indoor Fudo Myoo statue, measuring 6 meters in height and covered with a natural layer of soot from ceremonies.

The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with free admission and monthly Goma fire ceremonies where priests burn wooden sticks inscribed with wishes.

The temple contains numerous black and white lanterns suspended from the ceiling and multiple Doji statues lining the dark interior walls of the main hall.
