#27 of 2,025 in Historic Sites in Tokyo
Religious Site · Hidden Gem · Tourist Spot
Visit Ikegami Hommon-ji Temple, erected in 1252 on the site where revered Buddhist priest Nichiren died on his way to treatment at a hot spring. You'll have a chance to observe the oldest five-story pagoda in the region, with its rare 16th-century architecture (it even survived the Tokyo bombing of 1945). Be aware you'll need to conquer a 96-step climb to the complex, and during October, on the 12th day especially, hundreds of thousands of devotees line up to pay their respects to Nichiren.

    The temple and its surrounding are located neatly and orderly. Locals visit this place, and i hardly see any tourists there. Good if you like to enjoy a place where it is away from the crowds...  more »
