Honnoji Temple
京都市中京区下本能寺前町522
The head temple of the Hokke-shu Honmon-ryu sect, known as the site of the Honnoji Incident.
History
When Nichiryu left Myohonji Temple and received assistance from Kosode-ya Mungu to rebuild it, the temple was renamed Honnoji. During the late medieval period, it flourished as one of the 21 Hokke temples in the Kyoto area and received protection from the Ashikaga shogunate. Following the Honnoji Incident, it was relocated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and subsequently rebuilt by its believers.

What visitors say
Located near the Kyoto City Hall, it has a relatively quiet atmosphere as a tourist spot. Upon passing through the gate, the main hall is visible directly ahead. The temple grounds feature the mausoleum of Oda Nobunaga, a memorial stupa for the victims, and a display of swords. There is also a place to receive Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) and other commemorative items, making it a location where one can feel the weight of history, particularly appealing to history enthusiasts.
