Myōhō-ji

The temple grounds contain multiple structures, including a main hall, ancestral hall, and gates adorned with traditional architectural elements and detailed carvings.

Originally established as a Shingon Buddhist convent, the temple transformed into a Nichiren Buddhist institution between 1615 and 1624 under the guidance of priest Nikkyō.

The temple maintains its position as the head temple of the Nichiren Buddhist sect and conducts ceremonies throughout the year to honor the sect's founder.

Visitors can reach the temple by walking 15 minutes from either Shin-Koenji or Honancho stations on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line.

The temple's Iron Gate, constructed in 1878, combines Japanese and Western architectural styles and holds designation as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
