*''Established: [[1488]], [[Nichishin]]''
*''Japanese'': 本隆寺 ''(honryuu-ji)''
Honryû-ji is one of eight head temples of the Shinmon school of the [[Hokke sect]] in [[Kyoto]]. It was established in [[1488]] by [[Nichishin]], a follower of [[Nichiren]], at Shijô-Ômiya.
The temple was destroyed in the early years of the [[Tenbun era]] (1532-1554), when the Hokke sect came under attack, but was rebuilt at its current location in [[1542]]. Much of the neighboring area was destroyed in fires in [[1730]] and [[1788]], but Honryû-ji miraculously survived, and has since been known as ''Yakezu-no-tera'' ("unburnable temple").
Honryû-ji's grounds include Chiyo-no-i, one of the five clear water wells of [[Nishijin]]; a pine tree that is believed to keep babies from crying; and eight [[tatchu|sub-temples]]. The temple's treasures include a [[mandala]] said to have been painted by Nichiren himself.
