Enpuku-ji Temple (Iinuma Kannon)

Temple
Enpuku-ji Temple of the Shingon sect is the 27th temple in the Bando Sanjusankasho, a pilgrimage circuit of 33 Buddhist temples, drawing many worshippers. This ancient temple with a long history began, according to tradition, when a fisherman casting his net caught the statue of the Eleven Faced Kannon and enshrined it in 728. The temple was then properly founded by Kukai (Kobo Daishi) in the Konin period. In the temple grounds is a bright vermillion five-storied pagoda, a five meter statue of Amitabha (Great Buddha), and Japan’s largest embroidery of the reclining Buddha. Festivals are held on the 18th of each month which attract many visitors.

    銚子電鉄を利用して観音駅を降りてそこから徒歩ですぐ行ける場所にありました。目につくのは立派な五重塔です。その次に銚子大仏でした。参拝して帰りました◯

    観音駅から銚子漁港へ行く途中にある。五重塔や大仏もあって、予想以上に大きな寺だった。銚子電鉄の一日乗車券を見せると、特典でお守りがもらえる。
  • 三途の婆までいた

    17時閉館と書いてあり、まじかであった為ポイントだけ観る本堂ご覧になられてもお分かりの様に、サイズからしてご立派だ!観音菩薩様が多い気になるのは閻魔大王と三途の婆だ秩父の龍石寺以来だ深く知りたいまた時間が合えば是非行きたいお寺さんだ
