Entsuji Temple

Japan, 1770 Osawa, Mashiko-machi, Haga-gun, Tochigi 321-4104

This temple was once home to Osawa Bunko, which was famous as one of the three major library libraries in the Kanto region, along with Kanazawa Bunko and Ashikaga Gakko. It contained valuable calligraphy and scriptures, and had 38 student dormitories. The ``Issaikyo Tower'', which conveys the atmosphere of that time, is a quaint building that was rebuilt in 1809 during the Edo period. In autumn, the autumn leaves and ginkgo trees are illuminated.
