Honkakuin (Haijima Daishi)

昭島市拝島町1丁目6−15

3.5(408)

Honkakuin is a Buddhist temple of the Tendai sect that enshrines Ryogen, known as the founder of the revival of Enryaku-ji on Mount Hiei, as its principal image.

History

It is said that in 1578 CE (Tensho 6), the high priest Keishin Daishojo brought a statue of Ryogen, which he had taken with him during Oda Nobunaga's burning of Mount Hiei, and installed it at this site, thereby founding Honkakuin.

The temple grounds are spacious and feature impressive buildings, a charming gate, and a five-story pagoda, among other highlights. While the atmosphere is usually quiet and serene, it tends to get crowded during periods such as Hatsumode (the first shrine visit of the New Year). There is a parking lot on the premises, and visitors can also walk to the temple. Permission may be required for photography within the grounds.
