本蓮寺, Buddhist temple in Fujisawa, Japan.

The temple buildings of Honrenji spread across multiple levels, with the main hall standing as one of the largest wooden structures along the Tokaido route.

The temple complex was documented in Utagawa Hiroshige's woodblock print series of the Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido during the 1830s.

Honrenji functions as the headquarters of the Ji Buddhist sect, which maintains over 400 temples across Japan and counts 350,000 active followers.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds by taking a 15-minute walk from Fujisawa station, following clear signs through the local neighborhood streets.

The temple grounds contain a 700-year-old ginkgo tree and the Hojo-ike pond, where koi carp swim freely since their release in 1687.
