History
Eun-ji is a serene place, as if blessed clouds are showering down. This land has a deep connection with water since ancient times and is believed to bring blessings for protection from water disasters. The temple grounds are filled with a quiet and pure atmosphere, where worshippers can calm their minds and pray for daily safety. As the name Eun (blessing) suggests, it is loved by the local community as a benevolent entity. It is possible that the goshuin contains the protection of the water deity.
