Enmeiji Temple

日本、〒794-0081 愛媛県今治市阿方甲636

4.1(520)

A temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism, also known as Konkenzan or Hocho-in. It is the 54th station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage and is also renowned as a temple of flowers.

History

According to tradition, in the 4th year of Yoro (720 CE), Gyoji carved a statue of Fudo Myo-o (Acala, the Immovable Wisdom King) by imperial decree of Emperor Shomu. Kukai later restored the temple. During the Kamakura period, it flourished as a center of learning, and is also known for the writings of the monk Gyozen. After suffering repeated destruction by war, it was relocated to its current site in the 12th year of Kyoho (1747 CE).
