When I lived in Tokyo, I sometimes went to Honmonji Temple in Ikegami. Tokyo is one of the busiest cities in the world. Honmonji Temple was inside Tokyo but is quiet and calm place.
Honmonji Temple was founded by Nichiren Shonin about 700 years ago. Honmonji Temple ranked as one of the major centers among the order's 5000 temples. There were the five-story pagoda, red pagoda, stupa and main hall on the premises. They are very beautiful and solemn. I felt as if I had been in ancient era.
