Hankoji Temple

Hanko Danrin (school annexed to Hankoji Temple), which was opened in 1580 and prospered primarily in the Edo Period, is the oldest, largest, and best Nichiren-sect school for training monks - at its peak six to eight hundred monks are said to have studied at this school.

In the Meiji Period, the school was abolished due to the educational system reform, but the lecture hall, bell tower, drum tower, and front gate have been preserved; and are designated as national important cultural assets.
