*''Established: [[1602]]''
*''Japanese'': 東本願寺 ''(higashi honganji)''
Today the head temple of the [[Shinshu Otani|Shinshû Ôtani sect]], Higashi Honganji was split off from the [[Honganji]] (now called [[Nishi Honganji]]) in [[1602]]. It remains today one of the most famous and prominent temples in [[Kyoto]].
After the complex was destroyed by fire in [[1895]], it was rebuilt. Few if any of the current buildings date back before then.
[[Higashi Honganji (Tokyo)|A branch temple]] in [[Asakusa]], [[Tokyo]], also identified as "Higashi Honganji" on the site outside its gates, is the chief Shinshû Ôtani temple in the [[Kanto|Kantô region]].
