Ikegami Honmon-ji is the head temple of the Nichiren Buddhist sect, on the hillside where its founder died in 1282, with a grand main hall, a rare Edo-era five-storey pagoda and sweeping grounds. Its Oeshiki festival each October fills the streets with lantern processions. Free to visit and rarely crowded.
