A TEMPLE VISIT

We visited a temple near Ruther's office today. It was called Enmei-in, a sister temple of Narita-san. The main statue is a Fudomyoo. The chapel of the temple was erected in the precinct of Fumon-in Temple located in Ota-mura (present Nishinakamachi in Minami ward), receiving a part of the spirit from the main temple of Narita-san Shinshoji Temple in 1870. In 1893, the present site was donated from Kiuemon Takashima to the temple, to which the temple was moved, at which time the temple was newly named Narita-san Kyokai. Afterward in 1893, it was re-named Enmei-in. It is commonly known as Noge Fudoson. (taken from http://www.welcome.city.yokohama.jp/eng/tourism/spot/spot1040.html)

There were not much people around the temple. Maybe because it was close to the new year and maybe because they were doing preparations. It was a nice experience. It reminded me so much of the temples at Bangkok. Hopefully, I will get to see more of Japan's temples.
