Enpuku-ji (円福寺) is a Buddhist temple of the Shingon Risshu school, in Ikoma, Nara, Japan. The main object of worship (本尊) is Amida Nyorai.
The official history of the temple wrote that this temple was established in the Tenpyo-Shoho years from 749 to 757 by a famous Japanese monk Gyōki (行基), however, the origin of this temple is unclear. Today, as a result of fires through many centuries, this temple has only one main hall built in the Muromachi Period in 1371.
