Enmyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Matsuyama, Japan.

The temple complex features the Yatsuashi-mon gate, which incorporates architectural elements from different historical periods of Japanese construction methods.

Founded by Buddhist monk Gyōki, Enmyō-ji underwent reconstruction after sustaining substantial damage during the military conflicts of the sixteenth century.

Enmyō-ji stands as the 53rd temple along the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage route, where Buddhist practitioners perform religious ceremonies and rituals.

Located five minutes on foot from JR Wake Station, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM without charging an entrance fee.

A copper plate discovered at Enmyō-ji in 1921 contains the first known written use of the term 'Henro,' marking its role in pilgrimage history.
