Nichiren-shu Head Temple: Choshozan Honkoji (Obo Honkoji)
大田区池上２丁目１０−５
This is the head temple of the Nichiren-shu sect and is known as the sacred site where Nichiren passed away. It flourished during the Edo period as a prayer temple for feudal lords.
History
In 1292 CE (Kōan 5), Nichiren arrived at the residence of Ikegami Munenaka in Ikegami-gō, Musashi Province, and opened a single-hall structure built on the mountain behind the residence, naming it Chōyōzan Honmonji. In October of the same year, following Nichiren's death, Munenaka donated the temple's land, laying the foundation for the monastery. Subsequently, Nichiren's disciple, Nichirō, succeeded to Honmonji.
