Shouyozan Engo-ji
é£éššåžå€å·çºæ®¿çºïŒïŒâïŒïŒ
A temple of the Hongwanji-ha sect of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, known for its scenery featuring white-walled earthen storehouses that symbolizes the landscape of Hida Furukawa. The mountain gate, relocated from Masushima Castle, is designated as a cultural property of Hida City.
History
The temple originated in 1514 CE (Eiroku 11) as a nembutsu practice hall established by Masasuke Iwasa. During the Sengoku period, it moved to Furukawa Town along with the migration of the Kanamori clan to Hida, and in 1593 CE (Keicho 8) it was named Shogaku-ji. It settled in its current location in Denmachi in 1621 CE (Genwa 7) and was renamed Engo-ji in 1712 CE (Kentoku 2).

The stone-paved approach within the temple grounds is kept clean, and the view of the main hall from the Setogawa River side is beautiful. It is known as one of the three temples visited in a traditional pilgrimage, and events are held at night in winter illuminated by candlelight. Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) are available, and playground equipment for children is installed within the grounds.
