Honen-in Temple

A temple shrouded in silence

A temple associated with Honen Shonin. It once fell into disrepair, but was restored as a Nenbutsu-dojo by Mammushina in 1680. The grounds are full of silence.
The simple thatched mountain gate evokes the atmosphere of a mountain temple, while crimson and golden autumn leaves add vibrant color.
