Ryukokuzan Hongwanji (Nishi Hongwanji Temple)

Affectionately coined as “Onishi-san," Nishi Hongwanji stands as the head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji sect. After the death of Shinran Shonin, the founder of Jodo Shinshu, his youngest daughter, Kakushinni, established a mausoleum enshrining his remains and image. In 1591, Toyotomi Hideyoshi relocated the temple to its current location.
