Honen-in
京都市左京区鹿ケ谷御所ノ段町３０番地
A standalone temple of the Jodo sect located in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, known as a site associated with Honen.
History
The temple originated from a thatched hut where Honen and his disciples practiced the Roshu Rihan (Six Hour Praise) during the Kamakura period. It was revived in 1680 CE (Enpo 8) by Manmu and Ninsei of Chion-in, and became independent from the Jodo sect in 1953.
