Hakunzan Hoenji, Head Temple of the Nichiren Sect
〒640-8137 和歌山県和歌山市吹上１丁目６−３８
This temple serves as the head temple of the Nichiren Sect and is known as the family temple of the Kii Tokugawa clan.
History
In 1609 (Keicho 14), Nichishu founded Yoko-ji. In 1669 (Kanbun 9), Mitsutada Tokugawa, lord of the Kishu Domain, rebuilt the site into the expansive Hakunzan Hoenji to express gratitude to his mother, Yorin-in, and to pray for her soul, establishing it as the family temple of the Kii Tokugawa clan. Although the entire mountain complex was destroyed during the anti-Buddhist movement following the Meiji Restoration, the temple was restored in 1878 (Meiji 11) and regained its status as the head temple.
