【Chiba】A temple built to commemorate the birth of Nichiren

Chiba Prefecture is known as the birthplace of Nichiren, the founder of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism. To commemorate his birth, the "Tanjō-ji Temple" was established.

Located about a 15-minute walk from Awa-Kominato Station, the temple's grand main hall exudes a solemn atmosphere. The temple grounds are adorned with numerous lanterns, creating a breathtaking view.

Nearby, you can enjoy a stroll along the Tainoura promenade, which runs close to the sea, or visit the nearby beach. There are also many restaurants offering fresh seafood. Why not immerse yourself in Japanese culture while enjoying the ocean?
