本成寺, Buddhist temple in Sanjo, Japan
Set across 20,000 square meters, Honjo-ji Temple features a main hall, bell tower, guest hall, and separate buildings dedicated to Buddhist sculptures and ceremonies.
Founded in 1297 by Priest Nichiin, this temple became the head temple of the Hokke Shu Jinmon Buddhist sect after receiving sacred treasures from Nichiro.
The temple holds an annual Setsubun festival on February 3rd, featuring demon dances with performers wearing red, blue, yellow, and green demon masks.
The temple welcomes visitors daily without entrance fees, except for the treasure hall, and provides parking for 20 cars and buses at specified rates.
The temple contains numerous wood carvings by Ishikawa Uncho, a master sculptor from the late Edo period who spent his final years creating art within these walls.
