History
Engo-ji was founded in 1358 CE (Bun'ō 3) during the Nanboku-chō period as an imperial temple established by the edict of Emperor Kōgon. In 1397 CE (Ōei 4), it was designated as a place of prayer by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and became a Zen Buddhist temple supported by the Ashikaga shogunate. During the Gen'ei period, it was relocated to its current location in Ueno by Katase Mitsuyoshi, becoming the family temple of the Katase clan.

What visitors say
The temple grounds feature large maple trees with foliage that lasts for a long period. In June, white Sal trees bloom, and other highlights include imperial dahlias and imperial sunflowers. The parking lot is somewhat narrow and lacks painted lines, so caution is required, but the hand-washing station is clean and easy to use.
