本立寺

The Honryuji Temple stands within a large tree-filled garden that creates a green space in the urban environment of Nerima district.

The temple was established as Eseiji in 1647 by Nosey Yorinaga, and later changed its name to Honryuji to survive the government's temple construction ban.

The temple maintains traditional Buddhist practices while integrating modern services, including online memorial ceremonies for remote participants.

The temple complex includes multiple facilities for religious ceremonies, with parking spaces for 20 vehicles and wheelchair-accessible paths throughout the grounds.

The temple grounds serve as a sanctuary for urban wildlife, providing a habitat for cats and butterflies within Tokyo's metropolitan area.
