Taiseishōgun-ji

The temple grounds contain multiple structures including a main worship hall, ceremonial buildings, and traditional Japanese gardens with stone arrangements.

Founded in October 1290 by Byakuren Ajari Nikko Shonin, the temple became a center for Buddhist teachings after his departure from Mount Minobu.

The temple name Taiseishōgun-ji derives from O-ishi-ga-hara meaning Big Stone Field and serves as a center for Nichiren Buddhist ceremonies.

While the temple grounds remain open to general visitors, entry to religious buildings requires accompaniment by registered Nichiren Shoshu members.

The temple maintains the Dai Gohonzon, a sacred object of worship that draws Buddhist practitioners from many countries to this location.
