Enkakuji was built in the 15th century to serve as the "funerary temple" (bodaiji) of the Second Shō Dynasty. It was, of course, the largest temple in the kingdom and is registered as a National Historic Site.It used to be a National Treasure, but it burnt during the war (as everything else).
Renovation of the stone walls started in 2002. The reconstruction they started yesterday is the one of the wooden upperstructure of the Sanmon. The main gate (Sōmon) has already been reconstructed in 1968.
