History
This ancient temple, cradled in the bosom of the Takato mountains, radiates a light that illuminates even the most distant wishes. True to its name Enshouji—the far-shining temple—it possesses a mysterious power to deliver heartfelt wishes across great distances, even to those who dwell far away. The approach lined with ancient cedars, some over a thousand years old, resembles a path connecting heaven and earth. The countless sincere prayers this fox has witnessed here have all found their answers within these sacred grounds.
