Konpon-ji Temple
根本寺
The site of the Tsukahara Sanmaido, where Nichiren lived during his exile on Sado. Its thatched-roof patriarch hall and garden create a tranquil atmosphere.
Konpon-ji is located in Niibo. It is the site of the Tsukahara Sanmaido, where Nichiren first lived when he was exiled to Sado in 1271, and it is regarded as one of the holy sites of the Nichiren sect. The thatched-roof gate, the Patriarch’s Hall and the ancient gnarled pines have an old-world charm, and the garden looks different in each season. A worship fee of about ¥300 is required. It is about 4 km from Toki Forest Park, so the two can be visited together.
