Honkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Kosai, Japan
The temple grounds incorporate wooden structures featuring carved statues of protective demons and Buddhist deities positioned throughout the complex.
Nichijō established this Buddhist sanctuary during a period of religious expansion, contributing to the spread of Buddhism in the Shizuoka region.
The temple maintains a collection of Buddhist artifacts and hosts regular ceremonies where locals participate in traditional rituals and meditation practices.
Visitors can reach the temple grounds by taking a local bus from Kosai Station, with the last entrance permitted 30 minutes before closing time.
The temple houses a dedicated pet cemetery with small statues and markers, reflecting the Buddhist principle of compassion for all living beings.
