Honzen-ji

Located at the heart of Togane, Honzen-ji temple features wooden structures with traditional Japanese architectural designs and intricate carvings throughout its buildings.

Founded in 1406 by Buddhist monk Nichijin, Honzen-ji belongs to the Kyoto Jinmon lineage of the Hokke sect and includes four sub-temples within its grounds.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies, meditation sessions, and seasonal festivals that connect local residents with traditional Japanese religious practices.

Visitors can access Honzen-ji at 1423 Togane, Chiba Prefecture, where they must follow temple etiquette including proper dress code and respectful behavior.

The temple houses a gilt bronze Shakyamuni statue in Ryuzo-do Hall and preserves a historic bell cast by Hideyori Toyotomi, later used by Ieyasu Tokugawa.
