Greetings
We are a temple affiliated with Mount Minobu, founded by Monk “Kuonjoin Nisshin Shonin”（久遠成院日親上人）. Nisshin Shonin was born in the fourteenth year of the Oei era (1407) in Haniya, Sanmu District, Chiba Prefecture.
His childhood name was Toragiku Maru（寅菊丸）. At the age of fourteen, he became a disciple of Monk Nissen, the fifth head of the Nichiren（日暹） sect's Nakayama Hokkekyo-ji in Ichikawa, Chiba prefecture. He changed his name to Nisshin（日親）. Throughout his life, he traveled east and west, north and south, establishing more than thirty temples. Despite facing persecution and imprisonment, he tirelessly dedicated himself to a missionary life, polishing the golden words of not cherishing one's life.
Especially during the torture of having a scorching pot placed on his head, his hair burned, and his flesh blistered, but he continued to recite the “Namu Myoho Renge Kyo”. It is said that people began to call him 'Nabekamuri (Pot Crown) Nisshin Shonin' upon hearing this story.
Our temple was founded on June 15, 1450, when Nisshin Shonin, who had long aspired to serve at the mausoleum of Nichiren（日蓮聖人）, established a hermitage in the Daigo Valley of Mount Minobu. In 1909, it was relocated near the ancestral mausoleum in Nishitani, and in May 1939, following the plan for the development of the ancestral mausoleum, it moved to its current location.
In recent years, the temple has been operating a lodging house to assist visitors to worship at Mount Minobu, longing for Nichiren Daishonin.
