Hontō-ji, Buddhist temple in Nobeoka, Japan.

Hontō-ji is a Buddhist temple in Nobeoka featuring traditional Japanese architecture with wooden beams, sliding doors, and gardens arranged throughout its grounds. The buildings display typical elements of classical temple design with carefully maintained courtyards and landscaped areas.

The temple was established to spread Buddhist teachings in the region and has maintained this role across multiple periods of Japanese history. Its structures have been preserved and renewed over the centuries to keep its position as a spiritual center.

The temple serves as a gathering place where residents come for Buddhist prayers and religious ceremonies that mark important moments in their lives. Priests here teach traditional practices and conduct rituals that have shaped the community for generations.

The temple sits about 10 minutes by car from JR Nobeoka Station and has parking available on its grounds. Visitors should check ahead about any ceremonies or events taking place that might affect their visit.

A white weeping plum tree estimated to be around 200 years old stands in front of the main building and blooms spectacularly in early February. This ancient tree is a distinctive feature that draws visitors during its flowering season.
