Enkyo-ji, Buddhist temple in Kitagata, Japan.

The temple grounds contain a main hall, fire ritual building, scripture repository, and multiple ceremonial structures within its extensive complex.

Emperor Ichijo granted imperial patronage to Enkyo-ji in 987, transforming it into a significant religious institution with sixteen subsidiary temples.

The temple maintains its position as the thirty-second stop on the Tokai Thirty-Six Fudo temples pilgrimage route and fifty-first stop on the Mino Shikoku circuit.

Located at coordinates 35.436103, 136.686708, the temple opens its grounds to visitors daily and includes a public park for community gatherings.

The temple's two-story gate, constructed in 1296, served as the architectural model for the South Gate of Tokyo's Meiji Shrine.
