Do you know "Enpukuji"? It is a temple of the Nichiren sect in Yokodera-cho, located in the northeastern part of Shinjuku Ward. I took a walk around Kagurazaka and came to Asahizaka, but it is located in a residential area up the slope. According to the information board with a history in front of the gate, you can understand the historical background founded by Kiyomasa Kato in 1596, and the information board written as the three founders of Edo, the founder of the evil era, the founder of Edo Castle, the founder of Edo Castle, and the mother god of the night light are also conspicuous.

Kagurazaka is a lively main street, but when you enter a side road, it is surprisingly quiet. This street where Enpukuji is located was also quiet. There are about 4 temples in a row around it.

It was a historic temple built in the 5th year of Bunroku. There was a detailed explanation here. However, it was only Japanese. It may be good to speak English in the future.

There's an event on the first Wednesday night of every month.

It is interesting to attract customers at regular night events, which is rare for temples. It's an event to repent, but it seems that it has been done for a long time, and although it is mainly locals in the middle of a residential area, there are also people gathering as it is. Still, it is usually quiet and I don't see many worshipers.
