Nishiyama Honmon-ji, Buddhist temple in Fujinomiya, Japan.

The temple complex extends across 360 acres of land, featuring a two-kilometer path from the black gate to the cemetery behind the main hall.

Established in 1344 by Buddhist monk Nichiyo, the temple gained prominence when Princess Tsuneko, daughter of Emperor Go-Mizunoo, became a devotee in 1678.

The temple belongs to the Fuji Five Mountains group and maintains the spiritual lineage of Nichiko through the Hokke-shu Komonryu Buddhist tradition.

Located at 671 Nishiyama in Fujinomiya City, the temple requires private transportation as it stands 40 minutes by car from JR Fujii Station.

Local records indicate the temple grounds contain the burial site of Oda Nobunaga, marked by a holly tree planted near his remains.
