Enkiri-dera Mantoku-ji Shiryō-kan, Buddhist temple museum in Ota, Japan
The Enkiri-dera Mantoku-ji Shiryō-kan museum displays artifacts and documents from the former Mantoku-ji temple, which operated as a sanctuary for women.
Founded in 1246 by Nitta Yoshisue, the temple received official recognition from Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1591 as his ancestral temple with special privileges.
The museum preserves records of over 2,000 women who sought refuge at this temple during the Edo period to obtain divorces from their marriages.
Located at 385-1 Tokugawa-cho in Ota, the museum opens from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM with an admission fee of 200 yen for adults.
The museum features two specialized restrooms: the Enkiri Kawaya for ending relationships and the Enmusubi Kawaya for forming new connections.
