Overview
The head temple of the Nichiren school. The Bodaitei stairway from the gate to the main hall runs to 287 steps, steep enough to leave you breathless if you climb it in one go.
About this place
Kuon-ji (久遠寺) is a major Buddhist temple in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. Founded by Nichiren in 1281 it is today the head temple of Nichiren Shū. While the Ikegami Honmon-ji in Tokyo is also the Nichiren sect's administrative centre, Kuon-ji today plays an important role as a seminary. Locally it is referred to as the Minobu-san Temple, after the mountain upon which it is built.
