History
Honennji is an ancient temple connected to Honen Shonin, the founder of the Jodo school of Buddhism. As can be understood from the place name Busshosan, it is revered as a sacred mountain where Buddha himself was born. As a temple that teaches the path of salvation through the recitation of "Namu Amida Butsu" according to the teachings of Honen Shonin, it has been cherished by many people. In its quiet grounds, visitors seeking peace and tranquility of mind never cease to come.
