円通寺, Buddhist temple in Obu, Japan

Entsu-ji occupies a traditional temple complex with gardens, stone paths, and wooden buildings centered around a main prayer hall.

The temple was established in 1340 during the Northern and Southern Courts period and houses several artifacts from the medieval period.

The temple maintains a valuable collection of cultural assets, including a designated wooden gate and a standing statue of Kannon Bodhisattva.

Visitors can access the temple grounds daily to observe the traditional architecture, stone gardens, and participate in meditation sessions.

Each May 3rd, the temple displays a 20-meter-long straw snake between two large trees along Kannon slope as a village protection ritual.
