    The temple was originally founded by Gyōgi. The honzon is also attributed to him. It was originally called Sugazan Shōchiin Emmyōji, a name given by Prince Kakujin of the Omuro Ninnaji Temple in Kyōto. At one time this was a monastic community of seven shrines but these burned down in the wars of the 16th century. It was later rebuilt by the feudal lord Shigehisa Suga.

    The temple houses an interesting statue of the Virgin Mary disguised as Mariya Kannon, which was worshipped by secret Christians during the persecutions of Christians during the Tokugawa Period.

    As an aside, Matsuyama was the feudal castle town of the daimyō Hisamatsu. The castle can still be seen on Matsuyama (Pine Mountain).

The entrance gate of Enmyō-ji. It’s in the city, but it has a nice gate.

 

When you go inside the temple, you will find a small gate that is a little old.

 

This is the main hall of Enmyō-ji. Amida Nyorai is enshrined.

A red flag is erected, and many middle-aged women chant sutras in a lively atmosphere.

 

Next is the hall with an enshrined statue of Kobo Daishi. There are also pilgrims with children.
