Enkoji Temple

Admire the picturesque garden at Enkoji in Ichijoji

This temple was founded by Ieyasu Tokugawa in 1601, and has the oldest Buddhist scripture woodcut in Japan. It is also known for its collection of prominent Japanese art, such as Unkei's "Sende Kanonzo" and Maruyama Oken's "Chikurinzu Byobu". Suryu Pond, which is said to be the oldest in Rakuhoku, and Suikinkutsu, which has a pleasant sound, are must-sees.
In addition, the autumn leaves and fresh greenery of the garden, which you can see from sitting in the study room, are as beautiful as a painting.
