Enpuku-ji

Enpuku-ji temple stands on spacious grounds with traditional Japanese architecture, featuring multiple buildings connected by stone pathways and garden elements.

The temple complex contains a historic bell from 1462, marked with the era name Kyōtoku 11, representing an essential artifact of medieval Japanese craftsmanship.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies and meditation sessions, continuing centuries-old traditions of spiritual practice in the Fukuyama region.

Visitors can access the temple grounds through a designated entrance path, with traditional shoes removal required before entering the main prayer halls.

The temple bell rings 108 times during the New Year celebration, following the Buddhist tradition of cleansing the 108 earthly desires.
