Enshou Temple, Buddhist temple in Iruma, Japan

The temple features two ponds on both sides of the entrance path leading to the main hall, with the southern pond containing a Benten-do hall.

The temple originated in the Heian period when Buddhist priest Kōbō Daishi Kūkai built a hall near the current pond and was formally established in 1205.

The Motokaji Benzaiten Grand Festival occurs annually on January 14, with wooden plaques displayed and numerous street vendors participating in the celebration.

Enshou Temple stands at 158 Noda in Iruma City, just two minutes east on foot from Motokaji Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line.

The Fudō Hall, constructed in 1779 during the mid-Edo period, maintains its status as an official tangible cultural asset of Iruma City.
