本覚寺, Buddhist temple in Echizen Province, Japan
Hongakuji Temple includes a main hall housing wooden statues of Shakyamuni Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva from the Northern and Southern Courts period.
The temple traces its origins to 1436 when Master Nisshu transformed a former Tendai sect Ebisu Hall into a Nichiren sect establishment.
The temple maintains active Buddhist practices, including the distribution of Nigiri-fuku talismans, which come in five variations representing fortune, love, health, wealth, and learning.
Located at 1-12-12 Komachi, visitors can access the temple grounds between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with admission based on donation.
The temple received a portion of Nichiren's remains from Mount Minobu, earning it the name 'Eastern Minobu' among followers.
