Engyō-ji
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shoshazan Engyō-ji (Japanese: 書寫山圓教寺) is a temple of the Tendai sect in Himeji, Hyōgo, Japan. It was founded by Shoku Shonin in 966.
The complex of buildings is at the top of Mt Shosha and can be reached by Mt. Shosha Ropeway, and is often visited by pilgrims. Scenes from The Last Samurai were filmed here.
