Eigenji Temple (Momiji Temple)

Northern Ibaraki

Daigo Town

Temples/Shrines

Eigenji Temple was constructed in 1446 and enshrines Benzaiten, the goddess of performing arts and one of the Seven Lucky Gods in Japan. It is also known as Momiji Temple due to the beautiful maple leaves (momiji) that can be seen on the temple grounds.

At Eigenji Temple, the leaves begin to change colors around late October, with early to mid-November being the best time to see them. The autumn leaves filling the temple grounds create a wonderful sight, making it a popular spot for tourists.

Eigenji Temple is situated on elevated ground, offering a stunning bird's eye view of Daigo's townscape.
