*''Japanese'': 東本願寺 ''(higashi honganji)''

Located in the [[Asakusa]] neighborhood of [[Tokyo]], the Tokyo Higashi Hongan-ji is the head temple of the Higashi Honganji sect of [[Jodo Shinshu|Jôdo Shinshû]] Buddhism, having split off from the much more famous [[Higashi Honganji]] in [[Kyoto]], which is the head of the Ôtani Shinshû school of Buddhism.

From [[1682]] until the end of the [[Edo period]], [[Korean embassies to Edo]] were regularly lodged here during their time in [[Edo]].
