Insetsuji

Known familiarly as Senbonedma-do, Insetsuji uniquely enshrines Enma, the King of Hell. Rather than a figure of dread, Enma serves as both stern judge and compassionate guide, overseeing the world beyond death. Centuries of devotees have gathered here to pray with sincerity, seeking forgiveness and passage to paradise. The ancient Kyoto tradition of visiting on New Year's Day persists, as countless pilgrims bring their heartfelt wishes before this wise and merciful sovereign.
