It is said that Enmei Temple's Jizodo was built in Daido 2 (807) by the priest, Tokuichi, and in first year of Enkyu (1069), the priest, Sho, gave it new life and built the temple.
The main hall was rebuilt during the Kanei era, (between 1661-72), but during the Boshin War many buildings burned down, along with many of the treasures and records they contained.
The Jizo shrine is estimated to have been built during the middle of the Muromachi Period, and because there is a second roof under the main roof, it is also known as Fujikura Nikaido. It has a hipped, thatched, and square double roof with the sides measuring six meters, and an open exterior of 10-meter tetrahedral columns.
This is a unique structure incorporating elements of both shrine and temple architecture, and is the only one like it in northeast Japan. In 1903 Enmei Temple Jizodo was designated by the Ministry of the Interior as a Special Preservation Building, and in 1950 as a National Important Cultural Property.
