Nichiren-shu Myorin-ji
富士川町高下２３２５
A head temple (yushu jiin) of the Nichiren-shu sect and one of the six head temples of the Onishi Dharma Lineage. It is also known as a hydrangea temple and a haiku temple.
History
The temple traces its origins to a Shingon sect temple said to have been founded in 695 CE (Jito 7) by En no Gyohaku. In 1274 CE (Bun'ei 11), Nichiren visited the area, and Ajari Shanchi Hoin of the Kaido lineage converted to the Nichiren sect, leading to the temple being renamed Toku-eizan Myoho-ji. Subsequently, it received donations and issued shuinjo (certificates of merit) from the Takeda, Tokugawa, and Toyotomi families, as well as hereditary retainers. During the Edo period, it became a prestigious ancient temple with affiliated sub-temples (tato) and direct branch temples (chokumatsu-ji).
