Nichiren-shu Rakutohonzan Chomyo-ji
京都市左京区大菊町９６
A head temple (yushu jiin) of the Nichiren-shu sect, with the mountain name Monpou-san. The principal image is the Jikkai Mandala (Ten Worlds Mandala).
History
Founded in 1473 CE (Bunmei 5) by the monk Nichisuku, a native of Kazusa Province, who received a donation of land from Hosokawa Katsumasa, the governor of Tosa Province. The temple subsequently relocated several times, moving to Takakura Nakagomon in 1583 CE (Tensho 11) and to its current location in 1673 CE (Kanbun 13). It was destroyed by the Tenmei Great Fire but was later rebuilt.

The temple grounds feature numerous structures, including the Niomon (Lion Gate), a bell tower, and Kikujin Inari Shrine, creating a serene atmosphere for worship. Cherry blossoms bloom at the Niomon and main hall in spring, while the ginkgo tree in front of the main hall turns red in autumn. Please note that the mountain gate may be undergoing renovation, so it is recommended to check in advance.
