  • Honen-in is situated on the site where monk Honen founded the Jodo sect of Buddhism. Though generations of monks have studied Honen's doctrine here, in recent years the temple has turned more into a family sanctuary.  As at many Japanese temples, Honen-in now mostly officiates at funerals though the head monk hosts art shows from time to time as a keen arts lover.  The temple itself is usually closed to the public though the grounds in front of the temple has a pair of very unique Zen dry mound gardens.  The patterns change from time to time. The moss-covered Sanmon gate is open to the public year round.

  • Honen-in is most famous for its two sand mounds that are said to purify the visitor.   At the approach to the temple itself are mounds of white sand that are called Byakusadan. These symbolize water that cleans your body and mind. Patterns on the top of the mounds are changed every few days.

  • Kurodani Konkai Komyo-ji -  Shiun-no-niwa and Goen-no-michi were created surrounding a pond called Oike at Konkai-Komyo-ji Temple, the head temple of the Jodo sect.  The Shiun-no-niwa was created to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the death of Honen Shonin, the founder of the Jodo sect. It is a Japanese dry garden that depicts the life of Honen expressed with stones.  The garden is covered in white sand and hair moss.  The Goen-no-michi was created as a garden expressing Goen which means connection, is one of the basic concepts of Buddhism advocated by Honen. In the garden, two paths connect into one path representing the aspect of connection.
