Nichiren-shu Honzan Hokyozan Myodenji (Nichiren Sect Head Temple Hokyozan Myodenji)
京都市左京区北門前町４８１
This is a head temple (yushu jiin, a temple of historical significance) of the Nichiren sect, featuring five sub-temples (tato).
History
Established in 1477 by Enkyoin Nii in the Ichijo Shikiriaya district of Kyoto, the temple was repeatedly rebuilt after being destroyed by the Tenmon Persecution and the Hoei Great Fire. In 1591, it was relocated to the Kyogoku Nijo area by order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and in 1708, it moved to its current location in Nijo Kawabata. As a head temple of the Nichiren sect, it is recognized as a direct lineage of the Shinnen Monryu school and serves as a key figure (shokuto) in Kyoto.

The temple features a grand main hall and a hall for the relics of Nichiren (Goshinkotsudo), with several sub-temples scattered throughout the grounds. There is a wide variety of Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seal stamps, specifically Goshutai in this context) available for collection at the temple office behind the main hall or at the sub-temples. Cherry trees bloom in the grounds, and some surrounding areas are used as parking lots.
