東本願寺真宗会館

東本願寺真宗会館, Buddhist hall in Nerima-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Higashi Honganji Shinshu Kaikan is a hall of the Otani-ha branch of Jodo Shinshu in Tayahara, Nerima-ku, Tokyo. The main building has one basement and two upper floors; its ground-floor kodo, arranged like a temple main hall, holds a central image of Amida Buddha and seats 200 worshippers. The first floor also has an entrance, a Buddhist altar room and a lobby, while the second floor holds a 28-seat lecture room and three training rooms, plus a dining hall and baths for overnight seminars. A two-storey annexe adds a roughly 20-tsubo hall, a 16-mat Japanese room and a 24-seat lecture room.

The temple connects to the Higashi Honganji branch of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, which traces its roots to the teachings of Shinran in the 13th century. Over time, the facility has grown to offer comprehensive funeral services alongside its religious functions.

The facility serves the local community as a hub for memorial gatherings, blending traditional Buddhist practices with modern funeral customs practiced in Japan. Visitors can observe how mourners and the faithful use the space for quiet moments and shared ceremonies.

The main hall seats 200 people and the annex hall covers about 20 tatami mats; a 16-mat Japanese room and lecture rooms for 24 and 28 people are also available. Overnight training stays are possible thanks to the dining hall and bathing facilities. By train, take the Seibu Ikebukuro or Toei Oedo line to Nerima Station, then a Seibu bus toward Narimasu-cho and get off at Takamatsu 3-chome, one minute on foot. Buses stop at Shinshu Kaikan-mae only on the Narimasu-cho to Nerima Station north exit run.

The main hall seats 200 people and holds an Amida Buddha statue at its rear centre, arranged in temple style. The annexe has a roughly 20-tsubo hall and a 16-tatami Japanese room. Overnight training groups can use the canteen and bathing facilities.
