Kyōnin-ji, Buddhist temple in Kamogawa, Japan
The temple complex includes a Soshidō founders hall and Hondō great hall, which contain Buddhist artifacts and sacred teachings of Nichiren.
Founded on March 5, 1281, Kyōnin-ji commemorates a 1264 incident where Kudō Yoshitaka and Kyōninbō Nichigyō died protecting Nichiren from attackers.
The temple maintains its position as a center for Nichiren-shū Buddhist practices, offering visitors insights into traditional Japanese religious customs.
The temple grounds provide designated areas for meditation, prayer activities, and educational programs about Buddhist teachings throughout the year.
An 800-year-old cedar tree stands within the temple grounds, connected to legends of Kishimojin, a deity known for protecting children.
