Introduction to Engyoji Temple
This shukubo belongs to Engyo-ji, an old temple founded by Priest Syoku in 966 and is also known as Enryakuji in the West. In Engyoji, there are many halls such as Daikoudo, Jikido, Jougyodo, Gohodo and Juryoin, each of which is designated as an important cultural asset.
It is a beautiful temple whose approach is surrounded by cedars and Japanese cypress. It is famous as the place where the movie, “The Last Samurai” was shot.
