Temple Honden, Buddhist temple in Sakai, Japan.

Honden-ji is a Nichiren Shoshu temple in the Sakai ward of Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, whose mountain name is Juryuzan. It is said to have been founded by Byakuren Nikko and stood in Meguchi-cho before moving to its present site in 1663. The temple was rebuilt in 1623 by Ryoun-in Nikkei and again in 1662 by Unkai-in Nichijo, and it burned down in the air raids of 10 July 1945.

Founded in 1494 when Nisshō of Hōta Myōhon-ji received a house from Ryūmon Ryūchin and established a propagation hall in Sakai. Rebuilt in 1623 by Ryōun-in Nikkei and again in 1662 by Unkai-in Nichijō, it moved to its present site in 1663. It burned down in the air raids of 10 July 1945, and a memorial service for its reconstruction was held on 18 August 1952.

Honden-ji belongs to the Nichiren Shoshu school, and its mountain name is Juryuzan; tradition also credits Byakuren Nikko with its founding. In 1875 the temple's Honryu-ko group held a doctrinal debate with the Itchi-monryu Myoken Hoyo-ko at a merchant's house in Sakai's Shukuin-cho. The temple was destroyed in the air raid of 10 July 1945, and a memorial service for its reconstruction was held on 18 August 1952.

Visitors should respect the protocols of religious sites and walk respectfully through the grounds, especially in areas of active prayer and monks' quarters. It helps to take time exploring the different spaces like the main hall and lecture areas to fully experience the calm of the location.
