Enseiji Temple

Address: Japan, 758-0077 Yamaguchi, Hagi, Minamifuruhagimachi, 6. Getting there: You can take bus and stop at Hagi Bus Centre. From there, the museum can be reached within 11 minutes walk. Highlights: Enseiji is a rare extant example of a temple and a shrine coexisting at a single location. This coexistence used to be common until Shinto and Buddhism were forcefully separated during the Meiji Period. On the temple grounds you can inspect a large stone lantern with movable stands to withstand earthquakes. Japan's first prime minister, Ito Hirobumi, learned reading and calligraphy here when he was a child. An admission fee is required, but the priest will tell you various stories in an interesting way. I think it's very interesting for those who like history. 😌😄 Opening hours: 8am to 5pm daily Admission fee: 200yen #bucketlistreboot #traveljapan #culturewalk
