History

Byakko

Enmei-ji is revered as the eighty-fifth inner sanctuary of the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Temple Pilgrimage. The name "Enmei" carries the meaning that the light of the Buddha's wisdom illuminates perfectly and clearly in full harmony. The grounds, enveloped in silence, form a special space that calms the mind. As a sacred site transmitting Kobo Daishi's teachings to the present day, many believers visit to pay their respects. Especially for those seeking inner peace, this temple serves as an important place of prayer.
