本願寺吉崎別院

The Honganji Kizaki Betsuin temple features traditional Japanese architectural elements with wooden gates, tiled roofs, and stone foundations in a mountain setting.

Established in 1471 by Rennyo, the eighth head priest of Honganji, this temple became a central point for spreading Buddhist teachings in the Hokuriku region.

The temple maintains its role as a branch of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, conducting regular ceremonies and religious education programs for the local community.

Located at 1-201 Yoshizaki, Awara City, the temple welcomes visitors year-round and provides educational exhibits about Buddhist practices and traditions.

The Nenrikumon Gate, transferred from Kyoto's Honganji Temple, stands 6 meters tall and features distinctive architectural elements from the late Edo period.
