Enkō-ji, Buddhist temple by Seto River in Hida, Japan.
The wooden buildings of Enkō-ji stand along the Seto River, featuring traditional architecture with ornate roof designs and detailed carvings throughout the structure.
The main gate of Enkō-ji originates from Masuhima Castle, transferred to the temple during the period when Lord Kanamori governed the Hida region.
The temple participates in the Santera Mairi festival each January 15th, where people walk through candlelit streets to visit three temples in Hida Furukawa.
Located five minutes from JR Hida Furukawa Station at 11-11 Tonomachi, the temple remains open daily without entrance fees and welcomes visitors year-round.
Carved tortoises under the temple roof earned recognition when the building remained untouched during the 1904 Furukawa fire that affected surrounding structures.
