The origins of the Ikegami Honmonji Temple date back to when Ikegami Munenaka, a devout follower of the great priest Nichiren, donated a part of his estate after Nichiren’s passing. The temple has been frequented by daimyo (samurai lords) in the Edo period; and politicians, business leaders, and artists in more recent times. Accordingly, the graves of many famous people can be found here. The temple holds its Oeshiki ceremony memorializing Nichiren for three days each year from October 11; the lantern parade held on the night of the 12th is particularly lively and is a local seasonal fixture. Work up a sweat walking while enjoying this historic destination.
