Ikegami Honmonji and Daibo HongyoJi

Ikegami Honmon-ji (池上本門寺?) is a Nichiren Shu (Nichiren Sect) temple in the south of Tokyo, erected where Nichiren is said to have died.

A short walk from Ikegami Station (Tōkyū Ikegami Line) or Nishi-Magome Station (Toei Asakusa Line), Ikegami Honmon-ji contains a number of buildings, most of which have been reconstructed since the bombing of 15 March 1945. They include the Important Cultural Property designated five-storey pagoda built in 1608, the kyōzō (経蔵, repository of religious writings) built in 1784, and the hōtō (宝塔), built in 1781 where Nichiren was cremated. Other buildings have been rebuilt, or newly constructed, since 1945.
