Komyoji Temple

Komyo-ji Temple in Nagaokakyo is the place where Honen preached the Nembutsu for the first time.

The head temple of the Nishiyama Jodo sect. In 1198 (Kenkyu 9), Kumagai Jiro Naozane, a disciple of Honen Shonin, the founder of the sect, who is famous for the Genpei War, opened Nenbutsu Sanmaiin here. It is called 'Pure Land Monnemotochi' because it is the place where Honen first preached the teaching of 'Nembutsu'.
In recent years, it has become known nationwide as a famous spot for autumn leaves. The vast precincts are dyed bright red and overwhelm those who visit. In particular, the red autumn leaves coloring the stone pavement of Nyoninzaka and the tunnel of autumn leaves along the Momiji Sando are breathtakingly beautiful and must-sees.
