Enjo-ji Temple

Temple
This is an old temple said to have been built in the Heian period, known as one of the five important temples of Kita-Yamato. Inside the grounds are lined historic structures including Japan's oldest Kasuga-zukuri style main building, the Kasuga-do and Hakusan-do Shrine designated as National Treasures, and a main building (containing an enshrined image of Amitabha) with an attached stage said to have been rebuilt in the Muromachi-period (1336-1573). The beautiful garden around the central pond stretching out from the two-storied gate Romon was favored by the nobility from the Heian to Kamakura periods and is an important remaining example of what resembles a Heian-style garden featuring characteristics of both shuyu-shiki and jodo-shiki.

    柳生道の中間地点ほどに位置している古刹です。大日如来坐像は国宝で、運慶初期の作だそうで、豊かな表現力が青年期の運慶を物語っています。金箔が所々に残っていました。浄土式庭園も見どころです。春日堂・白山堂も国宝です。

    忍辱山円成寺は、バスの運行本数が少ないのでご注意ください。また、昼間でもバス運行のない時間帯のある場合があります。今回訪れた時はもみじも綺麗でした。また浄土式庭園やお寺の近くに食堂もあり浄瑠璃寺とよく似ていて、人も少なく非常に落ち着きます。

    運慶のデビュー作である大日如来坐像(国宝)、浄土式船遊式庭園の美しさ、日本一小さな国宝建造物である鎮守社 春日堂・白山堂(お寺の中の神社)、本堂(阿弥陀堂)の屋根の優美な曲線などなど、2018年JR東海「うましうるわし奈良」メインビジュアルに使われただけあって、見所の宝庫だった。紅葉の季節にも来たい。
