Hōon-ji, Buddhist temple in Amagasaki, Japan
Hōon-ji features traditional buildings with two distinct gates, displaying a paulownia crest on the inner gate and a chrysanthemum crest on the outer gate.
The temple relocated to its current location in Teramachi during the Genna period between 1615 and 1624 due to the construction of Amagasaki Castle.
The temple preserves a memorial dedicated to Sasa Narimasa, a military commander under Oda Nobunaga who performed seppuku in Amagasaki in 1588.
Visitors can reach the temple within five minutes by walking from the Nishiguchi exit of Hanshin Amagasaki Station, with parking facilities available on site.
The temple houses a valuable hanging scroll containing a poem written by Emperor Go-Yozei about evening rain and the path of the deceased.
