Ikekyozan Enkyoji
北方町北方１３４５−１
A special head temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, this temple is also known as the 'Shosoin of Mino' due to its extensive collection of cultural properties.
History
Legend holds that it was founded in 811 CE by Kukai by imperial decree of Emperor Saga. Later, when the Holy Kannon was enshrined by the priest Butsura, it was renamed Butsura-in. In 988 CE (Ichijo 1), it was granted the name 'Ikekyozan Enkyoji' by Emperor Ichijo. It has a history of being protected by successive rulers, including Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The spacious grounds feature many highlights, including a large pond, a three-story pagoda, and a large statue of Kannon. The atmosphere is refreshing and well-maintained. Visitors can also perform divination using Omakaru stones and worship the standing statues of Vajrapani at the Niomon gate. Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) are available as pre-written copies, and applications can also be made at the Nakejo (scripture submission office).
