Manpuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Koshigoe, Japan.

Manpuku-ji Temple stands near the Enoshima Electric Railway in Koshigoe, featuring traditional Buddhist architecture and a garden with ancient stones.

Founded in 744 by Buddhist monk Gyoki, the temple gained recognition when Minamoto no Yoshitsune wrote his famous Koshigoe Letter here in 1185.

The temple hosts annual ceremonies including the Yoshitsune Festival in April, Buddhist sutra copying sessions, and memorial services throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the temple via a 3-minute walk from Koshigoe Station, with parking available for 10 vehicles and admission fees of 200 yen.

The temple grounds include a monorail system leading to Shichigahama Cemetery, providing convenient access for grave visitors on the sloped terrain.
