Enkaku-ji (円覚寺) was a Rinzai Buddhist temple and royal bodaiji of the Ryūkyū Kingdom, located in Naha, Okinawa.
The temple was erected during the reign of King Shō Shin (r. 1477-1526), the first abbot was Kaiin Shōko (芥隠承琥). It also used as bodaiji of Ryukyuan kings. Ryukyuan kings should visit Enkaku-ji, Tennō-ji and Tenkai-ji after their genpuku and investiture.[1]
Enkaku-ji was recognized as a national treasure of Japan in 1933, but it was destroyed in the 1945 battle of Okinawa. Only the sōmon (general gate) and Hōjō Bridge (放生橋) were reconstructed in 1968 because of lack of historical records. The government of Okinawa Prefecture began plans to reconstruct its sanmon in 2014. It is scheduled to be completed in 2018.[2][3]
