Nichiren-shu Myochō-ji
富士川町十谷３８３
The head temple of the Nichiren-shu sect and one of the six head temples of the Onishi Dharma Circle. It is also known as the Hydrangea Temple and the Haiku Temple.
History
Its predecessor was a Shingon sect temple, traditionally said to have been founded by En no Gyōkō in the 7th year of Empress Jitō's reign. In 1274 CE (Bun'ei 11), Nichiren visited the area, and Eitō Ajari Zenchi Hōin, deeply impressed by him, converted to his teachings. Consequently, in 1275 CE (Kenji 1), the temple was renamed Tokuei-zan Myōhō-ji. It later received donations and land grants from the Takeda, Tokugawa, and Toyotomi families, as well as from hereditary daimyō. During the Edo period, it was granted imperial edicts by successive shoguns, boasting the prestige of an ancient and distinguished temple.
