Enpuku-ji

Enpuku-ji is a historic Buddhist temple in Choshi featuring a prominent five-story pagoda and stone statues dating back three centuries. Visitors come to admire the traditional architecture and seek health-related blessings through specialized prayers.

It suits travelers interested in Japanese religious heritage and photographers looking for iconic landmarks away from the city center.

Clear days are ideal for photographing the pagoda, and occasional special years allow visitors to see the interior when all temple doors are opened.
