●Name
Nishi Honganji
●Access
15 minutes on foot from Kyoto Station
●Points
The head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji sect, built by Saint Shinran's youngest daughter, Kakushinni, in Higashiyama Otani, Kyoto, is also a World Heritage Site
The Goei-do and Amida-do halls, separated into east and west, are spaces where you can forget the passage of time between the tatami mats
Please stop by to take care of your mind between sightseeing
There is also Higashi Honganji nearby, so please do not make a mistake
The pronunciation is "Namu Amida Butsu", but at Nishi Honganji it is pronounced "Namo Amida Butsu"
