Quiet and peaceful temple tucked away from the main tourist areas. Enkoji Temple has a calm, spiritual atmosphere with a simple but beautiful garden and traditional wooden structures. Not many people around when I visited, which made it feel more personal and reflective. The grounds are well-kept, and there's a sense of quiet dignity to the place. A nice stop if you're looking for a more serene side of Hida.

飛騨古川の瀬戸川と白壁土蔵街を彩るアクセント的な寺院。永正11年に江馬氏家臣、岩佐氏の正祐が吉城郡宇津江村（高山市国府町宇津江）に開いた念仏道場が起源で、戦国時代に金森氏が飛騨に移ってきた際に古川町に移った。寺運が次第に盛んになり慶長8年(1603年)には寺号を許可されて正覚寺と名乗った。元和7年に（1621年）は古川町殿町の現在地に落ち着いた。正徳2年（1712年）に現在の寺号に改める。明治37年（1904年）に古川大火により町中の多くの建物が焼け落ちるなか焼け残った。その際に寺の本堂の亀の彫刻が火災から寺を守ったとしてそれ以来その彫刻は水呼びの亀と呼ばれている。山門は廃城となった増島城から移築されたもので、飛騨市の文化財に指定されている。
