Honpō-ji

The temple contains a principal worship hall where devotees gather to practice meditation and offer prayers according to Nichiren Buddhist traditions.

Founded in 1595, the temple preserved its original architectural elements through multiple reconstructions following natural disasters and societal changes.

The temple houses a significant collection of Buddhist artifacts, including sacred texts and religious sculptures that represent Japanese Buddhist heritage.

Visitors can participate in morning meditation sessions and religious ceremonies throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

The temple maintains a garden featuring rare species of lotus flowers that bloom during summer months, creating patterns on the temple pond surface.
