Ikegami Honmon-ji, Buddhist temple in Ikegami, Tokyo, Japan
The five-story pagoda at Ikegami Honmon-ji rises from a hill in southern Tokyo, surrounded by traditional Japanese buildings and gardens.
The temple was established in 1282 following the death of Buddhist sage Nichiren, marking the location where the influential monk spent his final days.
The annual Oeshiki festival in October brings 300,000 visitors who participate in a parade carrying lanterns decorated with artificial cherry blossoms.
The temple complex is accessible via a 10-minute walk from Ikegami Station on the Tokyu-Ikegami Line or Nishi-Magome Station on the Toei Asakusa Line.
The temple houses a monument dedicated to sailors from USS Oneida who perished in 1870 after their ship collided with a British steamer near Yokohama.
