Myohonji is a part of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism in the southeastern hills of Kamakura founded by Hiki Yoshimoto. Its official name is Choko-zan Myohon-ji. This forest temple features a statue of Nichiren to left of the main hall and is connected via the Gionyama Hiking Trail leading through the wooded hills of Kamakura. On Nichiren's recommendation, Yoshimoto decided to erect this temple to console the political souls of his father, sister and family.
