Enshoji, Buddhist temple in Kita-Shinjuku, Japan
The Enshoji temple displays a main hall housing the Dainichi Nyorai statue, measuring approximately 2.5 meters in height within its walls.
In 1444, following flood damage to its previous location, the temple relocated to its current position, bringing the Dainichi Nyorai statue with it.
The temple belongs to the Rinzai Zen sect, representing an important branch of Japanese Buddhism focused on meditation and direct experience.
Visitors can access the temple grounds through public transportation, with nearby stations providing convenient access points to explore the religious site.
The temple gardens incorporate a pond that serves as a protected environment for Forest Green Tree Frogs, contributing to species preservation.
