Eifukuji Temple

An ancient temple where you can see the spirit of the ancient capital without leaving Chiba

Sakao Goroji, a vassal of the Chiba clan, built Myoken-do Hall in 1130, and the predecessor of this temple was founded the following year. During the Edo period, the temple's name was changed to its current name. The temple is home to the "Tsuriro" (hanging lantern), a prefectural cultural property, and the "Chiba Myoken Daiengi Emaki" (not open to the public). The cherry trees planted within the temple grounds at the time of the temple's founding bloom beautifully in the spring.
