History
The place I visited this time is Kyōninji, located in Hiroba, Kamogawa City. This temple is a famous Nichiren Shu temple, said to have been founded by Nichidai Shonin, a prominent disciple of Nichiren Shonin. Since ancient times, it has spread the teachings of Nichiren Shonin and gathered the faith of many people. At Kyōninji, in addition to faith in Nichiren Shonin, it is said to bring benefits of good fortune and exorcism of bad luck, attracting many worshippers. The quiet and solemn atmosphere of the temple grounds is a fitting place to purify one's heart and experience the teachings of Nichiren Shonin.
