日輪寺, Ji-shū Buddhist temple in Asakusa, Taitō-ku, Japan.

Nichirin-ji is a Jishū (Pure Land) Buddhist temple in Asakusa 3-chōme, Taitō-ku, with the mountain name Kanda-san and Amida Nyorai as its principal image. The site was originally a Tendai temple in Shibasaki Village, now Chiyoda; it became a Jishū nenbutsu dōjō after the monk Taa Shinkyō repaired and memorialized the burial mound of Taira no Masakado during the Tokuji era (1303–1308).

Originally a Tendai temple in Shibasaki village (now Chiyoda), it became a Jishū temple after the monk Taa Shinkyō visited during the Tokuji era (1303–1308). He repaired and memorialised a mound feared to be the cursed grave of Taira no Masakado, the epidemic subsided, and villagers urged the temple's conversion into a nenbutsu hall. It burned in the 1657 Meireki fire and moved to Asakusa, where it served as a Jishū supervisory temple and the Hotta family's burial temple.

The neighbourhood name Asakusa-Shibasaki-chō comes from the temple's former name, Shibasaki-dōjō. The temple belongs to the Jishū school and honours Amida Buddha as its main image; it served as a Jishū supervisory temple (furegashira) in the Edo period and was the family temple of the Hotta clan.

The temple stands in Asakusa 3-chome, Taitō-ku, about two minutes on foot from exit A2 of Asakusa Station on the Tsukuba Express. The grounds lie in the old Asakusa Shibasaki-chō quarter, named after the temple's former name, Shibasaki dōjō.

The neighbourhood name Asakusa-Shibasaki-machi came from the temple itself: it was called Shibasaki-dōjō, the Shibasaki practice hall. The temple also served as the head temple (furegashira) of the Jishū school in the Edo period and was the family temple of the Hotta clan.
