Honren-ji, Buddhist temple in Nagasaki, Japan
The main hall features classical Japanese temple architecture with Chinese influences, including a prominent glass lantern suspended from the ceiling.
Chinese merchants established Honren-ji in 1620 during the Ming Dynasty period as a place to pray for maritime safety during their trade ventures.
The temple represents the introduction of Obaku Zen Buddhism to Japan and maintains traditional religious practices through daily ceremonies and meditation sessions.
Located in the Teramachi district, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with an entrance fee of 300 yen.
A large Chinese glass lantern, imported during the temple's construction, remains suspended in the main hall as evidence of historical trade connections.
